2.0 USES
The Hilti Kwik Bolt 3 Concrete Anchor (KB3) is used to
resist static and wind, tension and shear loads in
uncracked normal-weight concrete and uncracked
structural sand-lightweight concrete having a specified
compressive strength fc = 2,500 psi to 8,500 psi (17.2 MPa
to 58.6 MPa), and in uncracked normal-weight or structural
sand-lightweight concrete over metal deck having a
minimum specified compressive strength fc = 3,000 psi
(20.7 MPa).
The anchoring system is in compliance with Section
1912 of the 2009 and 2006 IBC and Section 1913 of the
2003 IBC, and is an alternative to cast-in-place anchors
described in Section 1911 of the 2009 and 2006 IBC, and
Section 1912 of the 2003 IBC. The anchors may also be
used where an engineered design is submitted in

3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 KB3 Anchors:
The KB3 anchors are torque-controlled, mechanical
expansion anchors. KB3 anchors consist of a stud (anchor
body), expansion element (wedge), nut, and washer. The
stud is manufactured from carbon steel complying with
specifications set forth in the approved quality
documentation, or AISI Type 304 or 316 stainless steel
materials.
The carbon steel version of the anchor is illustrated in
Figure 1 of this report. Carbon steel KB3 anchors and
components have a minimum 5-micrometer (0.0002 inch)
zinc plating. The expansion elements (wedges) for the
carbon steel anchors are made from carbon steel, except
1
3
all /4-inch (6.4 mm) anchors and the /4-inch-by-12-inch
(19.1 mm by 305 mm) anchor have expansion elements
made from AISI Type 316 stainless steel.

5
3
The /2-, /8-, and /4-inch-diameter (12.7 mm, 15.9 mm,
and 19.1 mm) carbon steel KB3 anchors are also available
with a hot-dip galvanized coating complying with ASTM A
5
153, except all /8-inch-diameter anchors have a hot-dip
galvanized coating. All the hot-dip galvanized anchors use
stainless steel expansion elements (wedges). The
expansion elements (wedges), nuts and washers of the
AISI Types 304 and 316 stainless steel KB3 anchors are
made from stainless steel.
The anchor body is comprised of a rod threaded at one

end and with a tapered mandrel at the other end. The
tapered mandrel is enclosed by a three-section expansion
element which freely moves around the mandrel. The
expansion element movement is restrained by the mandrel
taper and by a collar. The anchor is installed in a predrilled
hole with a hammer. When torque is applied to the nut of
the installed anchor, the mandrel is drawn into the
expansion element, which engages the wall of the drilled
hole. Installation information and dimensions are set forth
in Section 4.3 and Table 1 of this report.
3.2 Concrete:
Normal-weight concrete and structural sand-lightweight
concrete must comply with Section 1903 of the 2009, 2006
and 2003 IBC.
4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Strength Design:
4.1.1 General: Anchor design tension and shear
strengths (Nn and Vn) must be determined in
accordance with ACI 318-08 (2009 IBC) or ACI 318-05

ESR-2302 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted

(2006 IBC) Appendix D using the design parameters as
provided in Tables 3, 4 and 5 of this report. Design
strengths must be determined in accordance with ACI 31808 for compliance with (or as an alternative to) the 2003
IBC and Section R301.1 of the IRC. Design parameters
are based on the 2009 IBC (ACI 318-08) unless noted
otherwise in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.11 of this report.
Design parameters and nomenclature for the KB3 anchors
are provided in Tables 3, 4 and 5. The anchor design must
satisfy the requirements in ACI 318 Sections D.4.1.1 and
D.4.1.2. Strength reduction factors as given in ACI 318
Section D.4.4 must be used for load combinations
calculated in accordance with Section 1605.2.1 of the IBC
and Section 9.2 of ACI 318. Strength reduction factors
as given in ACI 318 Section D.4.5 must be used for load
combinations calculated in accordance with Appendix C of
ACI 318. Strength reduction factors corresponding to
ductile steel elements are appropriate for stainless steel
and carbon steel elements. An example calculation is
provided in Figure 5.
4.1.2 Requirements for Static Steel Strength in
Tension, Ns: The nominal static steel strength of a single
anchor in tension, Ns, must be calculated in accordance
with ACI 318 Section D 5.1.2. The resulting values of Ns
are described in Tables 3, 4 and 5 of this report.
4.1.3 Requirements for Static Concrete Breakout
Strength in Tension, Ncb or Ncbg: The nominal static
concrete breakout strength of a single anchor or group of
anchors in tension (Ncb and Ncbg) must be calculated in
accordance with ACI 318 Section D.5.2, with modifications
as described in this section. The values of fc must be
limited to 8,000 psi (55 MPa) in accordance with ACI 318
Section D.3.3. The nominal concrete breakout strength in
tension in regions of concrete where analysis indicates no
cracking at service loads, must be calculated in
accordance with ACI 318 Section D.5.2.6. The basic
concrete breakout strength of a single anchor in tension,
Nb, must be calculated in accordance with ACI 318 Section
D.5.2.2 using the values of hef and kuncr as given in Tables
3, 4, and 5 in lieu of hef and k, respectively. For the KB3
installed into the soffit of structural sand-lightweight or
normal-weight concrete on metal deck floor and roof
assemblies, as shown in Figure 3, calculation of the
concrete breakout strength may be omitted.
4.1.4 Requirements for Critical Edge Distance: Values
for the critical edge distance cac for use with ACI 318
Section D.5.2.7 must be taken from Tables 3 through 5 of
this report. In applications where ca1 is less than cac and
supplemental reinforcement to control splitting of the
concrete is not present, the concrete breakout strength in
tension for uncracked concrete, calculated in accordance
with ACI 318 Section D.5.2, must be further multiplied by
the factor cp,N in accordance with ACI 318 Section
D.5.2.7. The values of ca1 must be taken from Tables 3
through 5 of this report. For all other cases, cp,N = 1.0.
4.1.5 Requirements for Static Pullout Strength in
Tension: The nominal static pullout strength (Np,uncr) of a
single anchor installed in uncracked concrete (regions
where analysis indicates no cracking in accordance with
ACI 318 Section D.5.3.6), where applicable, is given in
Tables 3 through 5 of this report. The nominal pullout
strength in tension may be adjusted for concrete
compressive strengths other than 2,500 psi according to
the following equation:
Npn,fc = Np,unc
f c
2,500
(N in lb, f'c in psi)
Page 2 of 11
Npn,fc = Np,unc
f c
17.2
(N in Newton, f'c in MPa)
Where values for Np,uncr are not provided in Table 3, 4, or

5 of this report, the pullout strength in tension need not be
evaluated. The pullout strength, in uncracked concrete, of
the anchor installed into a soffit of sand-lightweight or
assemblies, as shown in Figure 4, is given in Tables 3 and
4. The nominal pullout strength in uncracked concrete
must be calculated in accordance with the equation in this
section; if the value of Np,deck,uncr is used, it must be
substituted for Np,uncr in accordance with ACI 318 Section
D.5.3.2. Minimum anchor spacing along the flute for this
1
condition must be the larger of 3.0 hef or 1 /2 times the flute
width.
4.1.6 Requirements for Static Steel Strength of
Anchor in Shear, Vs: In lieu of the value of Vs as given in

group of anchors, Vcb or Vcbg, must be calculated in
accordance with ACI 318 Section D.6.2, based on the
values provided in Tables 3 through 5 of this report. The
basic concrete breakout strength of a single anchor in
cracked concrete, Vb, must be calculated in accordance
with ACI 318 Section D.6.2.2 using the values given in
Tables 3, 4 and 5. The value of le used in ACI 318 Section
D, Eq. (D-24), must be no greater than hef.
4.1.8 Requirements for Static Concrete Pryout
Strength of Anchor in Shear, Vcp or Vcpg: The nominal
static concrete pryout strength of a single anchor or group
of anchors (Vcp or Vcpg) must be calculated in accordance
with ACI 318 D.6.3 based on the values given in Tables 3
through 5 of this report; the value of Ncb or Ncbg is as
calculated in Section 4.1.3 of this report.
