overhead equipment support and concreted about creep

 I’m engineering an overhead equipment support and concreted about creep if I select an epoxy anchor. Have Hilti products been tested for creep?

Hi Ms. Tandon,

Thanks for posting your query.
Creep is the slow and continuous deformation of a material over time. All materials experience some sort of creep - concrete, steel, stone and adhesive anchor systems. In general, small deformations due to a constant sustained load are typical and creep is only problematic when excessive deformations occur.

All current Hilti adhesive anchor systems passed the creep test requirements of either ICC-ES AC308 or  ICC-ES AC58. Please feel free to reach out any time, if you need additional information.
