Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the forminator domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Tested for Strength and Safety

Connect-EZ’s products are meticulously tested in the field to ensure that they exceed American Concrete Institute standards for connecting tilt-up wall panels to foundation (ACI-14, 16.2.4.3 (b)) and for making connections between panels. Tests are performed using full-size panels in field conditions that are identical to installation environments. All Connect-EZ products exceed ACI standards and are proudly manufactured in the USA to meet the most stringent conditions and provide the safest connections – all with no field welding!

PA-12 Testing

PA-12 Testing Highlights

  • Full-scale testing

  • Devices subjected to four tests: shear, tension, in-plane, out-of-plane, and combined in-and-out of plane

  • Each device could resist 2.44 times nominal design strength in tension

  • Application of shear loads was limited to the shear capacity of the anchor and bolt alone
  • Shear loads were applied with no grout in the 1″ space between the bottom of the panel and top of foundation
  • In all cases, devices experienced only ductile reaction to loads

PA-EX Testing

PA-EX Testing Highlights

  • Full-scale testing

  • Devices subjected to four tests: shear, tension, in-plane, out-of-plane, and combined in-and-out of plane

  • Each device could resist 1.86 times nominal design strength in tension

  • Application of shear loads was limited to the shear capacity of the anchor and bolt alone
  • Shear loads were applied with no grout in the 1″ space between the bottom of the panel and top of foundation
  • In all cases, devices experienced only ductile reaction to loads

SC-10k Testing

SC-10 Testing Highlights

  • Full-scale testing

  • Both SC-a and SC-b resisted 10 kips

  • This suggests that the larger bolt gauges in SC-b did not affect the capacity.

  • The larger connection plates and bolt gauges in SC-b did not impact the capacity.
