Article shows results of anchor pullout tests for two types of anchors: bent foundation anchor bolt and torque-controlled undercut anchor. Effective embedment depth is determined during research for bent anchors 16, 24 and 36 mm in diameter. Tests were carried out for 37 specimens with different embedment depth in a range from 150 to 650 mm. Load-displacement diagrams for static and cyclic dynamic pullout tests in uncracked and cracked concrete were acquired. Cyclic loading pattern simulated seismic loads. Test results for undercut anchors with diameter of 12, 16 and 20 mm and embedment depth of 125, 190 and 250 mm respectively allowed to estimate the influence of cracks in concrete and cyclic loads on ductility of anchor during pullout tests. It is stated that embedment depth required by regulatory documents for bent anchor bolt is higher than admissible embedment depth acquired in tests as a result of comparative analysis of design and optimal anchor bolt structure.
