1. Selection of anchor channel, in accordance to the
construction document;
2. Placing channel into formwork. Anchor channel must
be flush with the concrete surface;
a. Steel formwork: Fixing with HALFEN channel
bolts through formwork penetration;
b. Steel formwork: Fixing with rivets;
c. Steel formwork: Fixing with HALFEN fixing
cone;
d. Timber formwork: Fixing with nails;
e. Timber formwork: Fixing with staples;
f. Fixing in the top surface of concrete: Fixing by
using auxiliary construction;
g. Fixing in the top surface of concrete: Fixing from
above directly to the reinforcement; and
h. Fixing in the top surface of concrete: Fixing to
the reinforcement, using the HALFEN ChanClip.
3. Cast in and compact the concrete;
4. Hardening of the concrete;
5. Striking the formwork; and
6. Removing the combi strip filler.
Channel bolt installation in the anchor channel shall
include the following steps according to Table 11 of this
report:
1. Selection of the HALFEN channel bolts in accordance
with the planning document.
2. Insert the channel bolt into the channel. After a 90°

4.5 Special inspection:
Periodic special inspection shall be performed as required
in accordance with Section 1705.1.1 and Table 1705.3 of
the 2015 and 2012 IBC, Section 1704.15 of the 2009 IBC
and Section 1704.13 of the 2006 IBC and in accordance
with this report. For each type of anchor channel, the
manufacturer shall provide inspection procedures to verify
proper usage.
4.5.1 Inspection requirements: Prior to concrete
placement, the special inspector shall inspect the
placement of anchor channels in the formwork to verify
anchor channel type, channel size, anchor type, number of
anchors, anchor size, and length of anchors, as well as
anchor channel location, position, orientation, and edge
distance in accordance with the construction documents.
The special inspector shall also verify that anchor channels
are secured within the formwork in accordance with the
manufacturer’s printed installation instructions (MPII).
Following placement of concrete and form removal, the
special inspector shall verify that the concrete around the
anchor channel is without significant visual defects, that
the anchor channel is flush with the concrete surface,
and that the channel interior is free of concrete, laitance,
or other obstructions. When anchor channels are not flush
with the concrete surface, the special inspector shall verify
that appropriate sized shims are provided in accordance
with the MPII. Following the installation of attachments to
the anchor channel, the special inspector shall verify that
the specified system hardware, such as
T-headed channel bolts and washers, have been used and
positioned correctly, and the installation torque has been
applied to the channel bolts in accordance with the
installation instructions (MPII). The special inspector shall
confirm with the engineer of record that the attachments do
not produce gravity, wind, and/or seismic loading parallel
to the longitudinal axis of the channel.
The special inspector shall be present for the
installations of attachments to each type and size of
anchor channel.
Where they exceed the requirements stated here, the
special inspector shall adhere to the special inspection
requirements provided in the statement of special
inspections as prepared by the registered design
professional in responsible charge.
4.5.2 Proof loading program: Where required by the
registered design professional in responsible charge, a
program for on-site proof loading (proof loading program)
to be conducted as part of the special inspection shall
include at a minimum the following information:
1. Frequency and location of proof loading based on
channel size and length;
2. Proof loads specified by channel size and channel
bolt;
3. Acceptable displacements at proof load;
4. Remedial action in the event of failure to achieve
proof load or excessive displacement.
The HALFEN HTA anchor channel and HS channel bolts
described in this report are a suitable alternative to what is
ESR-1008 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted
specified in those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report,
subject to the following conditions:
5.1 The anchor channels and channel bolts are
recognized for use to resist static short- and long-term
loads, including wind and seismic loads (IBC seismic
design categories A and B) tension loads (Nua) and
shear loads perpendicular to the longitudinal channel
axis (Vua,y), or any combination of these loads applied
at any location between the outermost anchors of the
anchor channel in accordance with Figure 1 of this
report.
5.2 The anchor channels and channel bolts shall be
installed in accordance with Table 1 and the
manufacturer’s printed installation instructions (MPII),
as included in the shipment and as shown in Table 10
through 12 of this report. In case of a conflict, this
report governs.
5.3 The anchor channels shall be installed in cracked or
uncracked normal-weight concrete having a specified
compressive strength f′c = 2,500 psi to 10,000 psi
(17.2 MPa to 69.0 MPa) [minimum of 24 MPa is
required under ADIBC Appendix L, Section 5.1.1].
5.4 The use of these anchor channels in lightweight
concrete is beyond the scope of this report.
5.5 Strength design values shall be established in
accordance with Section 4.2 of this report.
5.6 Allowable stress design values are established with
Section 4.3 of this report.
5.7 Minimum and maximum anchor spacing and minimum
edge distance as well as minimum member thickness
shall comply with the values given in this report.
5.8 Prior to anchor channel installation, calculations and
details demonstrating compliance with this report shall
be submitted to the code official. The calculations and
details shall be prepared by a registered design
professional where required by the statutes of the
jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed.
5.9 Where not otherwise prohibited by the code, HALFEN
HTA anchor channels are permitted for use with fire-
resistance-rated construction provided that at least
one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
 Anchor channels are used to resist wind or seismic
forces (IBC seismic design categories A and B).
 Anchor channels that support a fire-resistance-
rated envelope or a fire-resistance-rated
membrane are protected by approved fire-
resistance-rated materials, or have been evaluated
for resistance to fire exposure in accordance with
recognized standards.
 Anchor channels are used to support nonstructural
elements.
5.10 Since an acceptance criteria for evaluating data to
determine the performance of anchor channels
subjected to fatigue or shock loading is unavailable at
this time, the use of these anchor channels under
such conditions is beyond the scope of this report.
