Hi Isaac,


This is a very good question. We would recommended HY200 chemical grout for posted installed rebar application, existing concrete wall might be considered under tension zone therefore cracked concrete approved product should be adopted. You may refer to EC2 method on the design anchorage length under Ultimate Limit State (ULS). If there is any fire consideration on the structural element, please contact us for the latest local fire assessment report.

If you have any question please feel free to contact me.

Cheers,
Tania
