The EN 15048 standard lays out the requirements for the structural design of fastenings for use in concrete. It provides guidance on the selection of fasteners, taking into account the properties of the concrete and the characteristics of the fasteners themselves. The standard also covers the design procedures for different types of fastenings, including anchor channels, mechanical fastenings, and bonded anchors. By following the guidelines set out in EN 15048, engineers and designers can ensure that the fastenings used in concrete structures are safe, reliable, and able to withstand the expected loads and environmental conditions, thus contributing to the overall structural integrity and safety of the buildings and infrastructure.
