ICC-ES AC502 – Acceptance Criteria for Cast-in Insert Assemblies in ConcreteScope
ICC-ES AC502 outlines the requirements for evaluating cast-in insert assemblies used to attach various systems (architectural, mechanical, electrical, etc.) to concrete structures. The scope of AC502 includes:- Material properties: it specifies the requirements for the materials used in cast-in insert assemblies, such as the metal insert, anchor bolts, and any coatings or finishes.
- Design: it outlines the design criteria for cast-in insert assemblies, considering factors such as load capacity, embedment depth, spacing, and edge distance.
- Testing: it details the specific tests required to evaluate the performance of cast-in insert assemblies under various loading conditions, including tensile, shear, and combined loading tests.
- Evaluation and certification: it outlines the process for evaluating and certifying cast-in insert assemblies to ensure they comply with the acceptance criteria and can be safely used in construction.
