CERTIFICATION EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 2026 VERIFIED.
An adhesive anchor system is made up of an: - ANS adhesive, anchor, drilling equipment,
cleaning equipment, installation equipment, MPII, and MSDS
An anchor connection includes an attachment, an anchor, and the substrate (T/F) - ANS True
Adhesive anchors are cast in concrete before the concrete hardens (T/F) - ANS False
What piece of equipment has a static mixing element? - ANS Mixing nozzle
Adhesive anchor failure in tension does NOT occur by: - ANS Concrete pryout failure
Adhesive anchor failure modes in shear include: - ANS Concrete pryout failure, steel failure,
and concrete breakout failure
Installation factors that influence the strength of the adhesive anchor bond include: -
ANS Drilling the hole, cleaning the hole, and injecting the adhesive according to the MPII
@2026/2027 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED.
, Adhesives should be stored: - ANS As directed by the MPII
Gel time is: - ANS The amount of time between first mixing and when it becomes non-
flowing, increased when temps decrease, and decrease when temps increase
Proper installation of adhesive anchor systems is important to ensure that the system achieves
its maximum performance to prevent anchor failures (T/F) - ANS True
ACI (?), Appendix D requires that installation of adhesive anchors horiz. or overhead that
support sustained tension loads are performed by certified personnel - ANS 318
A post installed anchor is: - ANS installed in an existing concrete member
A tension load is (?) to the axis of the installed anchor - ANS Parallel
An adhesive anchor may fail if the applied load exceeds the strength of the bond between the
adhesive and the concrete or the bond between the adhesive and the anchor (T/F) -
ANS True
An anchor can also be called: - ANS anchor element, anchor rod, threaded rod, and
anchoring element
Rigorous testing and evaluation requirements for adhesive anchor systems are detailed in ACI
(?) - ANS 355.4
