A08 Serviceability Limit State (SLS)

1. General
In general the Hilti HIT-Rebar system is designed to provide similar stiffness as cast in situ connections.
Therefore the provisions of the Standard apply in terms of detailing regarding serviceability limit state.

The limit state of cracking for high bond adhesive like Hilti HIT-RE 500 should be checked for elevated
service temperatures.

For elevated service temperatures and stringent requirements see Table 1.

Table 1: Hilti HIT-RE 500: bond stress limitation fbt,s for quasi-permanent loads and elevated
temperatures

Bar size [mm] 10 12 16 20 25 28 32 40 wm

Temperature T [mm]

50C / 122F 5.3 5.0 4.2 3.7 3.2 2.9 2.7 2.3
0.3
60C / 140F 4.3 4.1 3.3 2.9 2.5 2.2 2.1 1.7
T [C / F] service temperature in substrate at the position of the bonded bar
fb,s [N/mm2] bond stress under permanent loads
(load factor f = 1.0 for dead load and permanent part of variable actions)
wm [mm] Mean value of expected crack width for permanent loads

Not decisive for normal cases

Notes:
Ultimate limit state (ULS) design is mandatory in all cases.
Be aware that the loads in SLS are 50% to 60% of ULS loads for normal cases.
The table is valid for concrete compressive strength fck 25 N/mm2
Scatter of crack width is considerable and larger cracks may occur.
