Introduction
MethodoIogy of DX-Fastener SeIection
There are five fastener selection charts corresponding to five trade groups:
Steel metal (e.g. siding and decking, cladding, grating)
Petrochemical and Ìndustrial (e.g. installations, off-shore)
Ìnterior finishing (e.g. drywall, suspended ceilings)
General construction (e.g. concrete forming, insulation)
HVAC, plumbing and electrical
To find a DX fastener for an application, enter the appropriate trade group chart with the application:
Detailed technical information for the selected fastener family is found on its product information sheet.
For some applications, two or more fastener families are listed as suitable. The final selection is influenced by
technical data found on the product sheets.
Regional differences in building methods, materials, trade preferences, available tools, etc. also influence fastener
selection. Therefore, designers and specifiers are advised to consult the current Hilti catalogue and make use of the
local Hilti technical advisory service.
Corrosion
The subject of corrosion has a major influence on the suitability of a fastener and therefore also on fastener
selection. Ìn order to provide a basis for judging the suitability of fasteners, it is useful to categories applications in
three classes:
Safety relevant, permanent applications: (e.g. profiled metal sheet fastenings in roofs and walls)
Non-safety relevant, permanent fastenings (e.g. metal track fastenings for drywall)
Non-safety relevant, temporary fastenings (e.g. fastenings of wooden sills, kickers, etc. in concrete forming).
For non-safety reIevant appIications, zinc plated fasteners made of normal carbon steel can be used without
restriction.
For safety reIevant, permanent fastenings restrictions described below apply:
Ìn any case there is a restriction to the use of galvanised carbon steel fasteners if they are exposed to weather
or if they are inside and subject to repeated wetting as from condensation. The galvanisation (typically in a
range from 5 to 20 microns of Zn) provides corrosion protection during transport and construction, during which
exposure to weather can never be completely prevented. Ìf the fastenings are exposed to repeated wetting or
weather during their service life, the use of galvanised carbon steel fasteners is prohibited and stainless steel
fasteners must be used. This safety measure must be observed without exception because the corrosion of
galvanised steel fasteners leads not just to material loss but also to hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen
embrittlement can easily result in fracture of the fastener at very low load.
Referring to the above mentioned example of profiled metal sheet fastening for roofs and walls, the use of
galvanised steel fasteners is allowable only where wetting of the fastener is not to be expected. This applies in
general to inside skins of two skin, insulated roofs and walls enclosing dry and closed rooms. This is the classic
application area for ENP(H)2 galvanised fasteners.
Contact corrosion is taken into consideration by observing common rules concerning acceptable material
combinations. Parts made of less noble metals are subject to increased corrosion if they are in electrochemical
contact with a larger part made of a more noble metal, provided of course that an electrolyte is present. Fasteners
that are used in wet areas must be at least as noble or better, nobler than the fastened part. The effect of contact
corrosion is shown in the table below. This information is especially applicable to stainless steel X-CR fasteners

because only the X-CR is suitable for safety relevant, permanent application located outside or otherwise exposed
to corrosion.

Negligible or no corrosion of fastener
Heavy corrosion of fastener
The accelerated corrosion of a fastener due to contact corrosion can take place only in the presence of an
electrolyte (moisture from precipitation or condensation). Without this electrolyte ÷ e.g. in dry inside rooms ÷ zinc
plated fasteners can be used in connection with more noble metals.
Design Concepts
The recommended working loads (N
rec
and V
rec
) are suitable for use in typical working load designs. Ìf a partial
factor of safety design method is to be used, the N
rec
and V
rec
values are conservative when used as N
Rd
and V
Rd
.
Exact values for N
Rd
and V
Rd
can be determined by using the safety factors where given and or reviewing test data.
Design loads (characteristic strength, design resistance and working loads) for the X-HVB shear connector are
listed and ordered per design guideline.
Worldwide the designer may encounter three main fastening design concepts:
Working Ioad concept
as practiced in Europe

Rk N
where is an overall factor of safety
including allowance for:
errors in estimation of load
deviations in material and
workmanship

where ' is an overall factor of safety
including allowance for:

and NS is, in general a characteristic

NS NSk
PartiaI factors of safety
NSk x

NSd =
M
Rk N
= NRd
where:
F is a partial factor of safety to allow for
errors in estimation on the acting load.
M is a partial factor of safety to allow for
deviations in material and workmanship.
Except for DX-Standard fastenings to concrete, DX fastenings can be treated as single point fastenings in the
design calculation. Structural analysis of the fastened part (e.g. roof deck panel or pipe hung from a number of
fastenings) leads to calculation of the load acting on a single fastening, which is then compared to the
recommended load (or design value of the resistance) for the fastener. Ìn spite of this single point design concept, it
is necessary to insure that there is enough redundancy so that failure of a single fastening will not lead to collapse
of the entire system. The old saying ¨one bolt is no bolt¨ can also be applied to DX fastening.

CycIic Loading
Siding and decking nails used in wall and roof construction are subject to cyclic loading from wind suction. Cyclic
load testing is carried out to determine allowable (and recommended) loads. The approval requirements of the DÌBt
(Deutsches Ìnstitut für Bautechnik) govern the design relevant number of load repetitions (5'000) and the necessary
safety factors. Notes in this regard are found on the corresponding product data sheets.
Ìn case that fasteners will be subject to a large number of load repetitions and fatigue, we recommend carrying out a
design check according to the requirements of Eurocode 3 (or similar code). Eurocode 3 gives the characteristic
fatigue resistance and safety concept for steel construction. To carry out the check according to Eurocode 3, it is
necessary to have a statistical analysis of test data obtained under the application conditions. Except for siding and
decking fasteners, the product data sheets in C3 limit the validity of recommended loads to predominantly static
loading. Ìn case that a design must be done for true fatigue loading, test data can be obtained from Hilti. Examples
of such data are displayed below.
X-EM8-15-14 (standard zinc pIated fastener)
The X-EM8-15-14 has a shank diameter 4.5 mm and
a hardness of HRC 55.5 1 (fu = 2'000 MPa). The S-
N diagram shows the load range F for a lower load
of 0.05 kN. The individual test results are displayed
as points and the curves show average and
characteristic (95% survival probability) values. The
failure mode was shank fracture or fracture in the M8
threading.
The recommended load for predominantly static
loading is 2.4 kN. Comparing this value to the S-N
diagram will lead to the conclusion that EM8-15-14
fastenings designed for 2.4 kN static loading will
survive a large number of load repetitions. The
fastenings can be said to be robust, even when the
actual loading turns out to be in part cyclic.
X-CRM8-15-12 (stainIess steeI fastener)
The X-CRM8-15-12 has a shank diameter of 4.0 mm
and a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 1'850 MPa.
The S-N diagram shows the load range F for a
lower load of 0.05 kN. The individual test results are
displayed as points. The failure mode was shank
fracture or fracture just below the head of the nail.
The recommended load for predominantly static
loading is 1.8 kN. Comparing this value to the S-N
diagram will lead to the conclusion that EM8-15-14
fastenings designed for 1.8 kN static loading will
survive a large number of load repetitions. The
fastenings can be said to be robust, even when the
actual loading turns out to be in part cyclic.

Mode of FaiIure under CycIic Loading
A major finding of cyclic loading tests is that the strength of a DX fastening subject to cyclic loading is not limited by
failure of the anchorage. Ìt is only when the number of cycles is very low ÷ that is predominantly static loading ÷ that
nail pullout is observed. The two schematic diagrams below show the relationship between failure mode and
number of cycles. All tests show that the anchorage of DX fasteners in steel and in concrete is extremely robust with
regard to resisting cyclic loading. Fasteners subject to a large number of load repetitions fracture in the shank, head
or threading. A condition to obtaining this behavior is that the fasteners are correctly driven. Fasteners that are not
driven deeply enough exhibit low pullout strength and in a cyclic loading test, may not necessarily fail by fracture.
Ìn older product information and data sheets, this basic suitability of DX fasteners for cyclic loading was emphasized
by defining the recommended loads as cyclic recommended loads. At the time that this product information was
assembled, a true safety concept for a strict check of DX fastenings subject to fatigue loading was not available.
With Eurocode 3, this is now available. Ìn case that a fatigue design is carried out, it is important that adequate
redundancy ÷ as with static design ÷ be provided.

Engineering Advice
Connector pIacement aIong the beam
The HVB is a flexible connector and may be uniformly distributed between points where large changes in shear flow
occur. These points are e.g. supporting points, points of application of point loads, areas with extreme values of
bending moments.
PartiaI shear Connection
Strength:
The minimum connection depends on the design code used:
a) Ìn ENV 1994-1-1 & BS 5950 designs, N/N
f
, must be at least 0.4. This is increased depending on span
length and decking geometry.
b) Ìn AISC, N/N
f
must be at least 0.25.
c) Ìn CISC, N/N
f
must be at least 0.50.
Deflection control only:
Ìf the shear connection is needed for deflection control only, no minimum degree of connection, however, minimum
allowable connector spacing applies and steel beam must have enough strength to carry the self-weight and all
imposed loads.
Connector Positioning
GeneraI Positioning
or or
Position the HVB's so that the shear force is transferred symmetrically to the beam. The HVB orientation parallel to
the axis of the beam is preferred.
Positioning on metaI decks - ribs transverse to beam

Fastening DetaiIs
t
I
3 mm
Steel fastened material 3 mm
thick, usually deforms with the
displaced base material to allow
a tight fit between fastened steel
and base material without pre-
drilling.
Because conditions may vary,
trial fastenings are recommended
t
I
3 mm
Without pre-drilling:
Steel fastened material 3 mm
thick is too stiff too fully deform
with the displaced base material.
The gap, which increases with
increasing t
I
, can result in
bending moments being applied
to the nail shank.
To prevent imposition of a moment on the
shank of fastener, use three fasteners in a
group.
With pre-drilling:
Ìf a gap between the fastened
part and the base material is
unacceptable, the fastened part
can be prepared with drilled
holes.

Notes/Conditions:
Except for loads noted with*, recommended tensile loads
are limited by elastic limit of disk.
Exceeding recommended loads can result in plastic
deformation of disk.
X-FCM, X-FCM-M, X-FCM-R resist shear by friction and
are not suitable for explicit shear load designs, e.g.
diaphragms. Depending on surface characteristics, shear
loads of up to about 0.3 kN will not result in permanent
deformation. Therefore, small unexpected shear loads can
generally be accommodated without damage.
* Loading is limited by recommended load for
threaded stud.
** Loading is limited by plastic deformation of the
X-FCM disk.

Observance of all application limitations and recommendations.
The recommended loads in the table refer to the resistance of the
shank cross-section. The loads acting on the cross-section (N' and V')
are influenced by the characteristics and arrangement of the part or
material fastened and may not be the same as the loads acting on the
fastened part or material (N and V)
The existence and/or magnitude of moment acting on the fastener
shank (M') is influenced by the characteristics and arrangement of the

Loads valid for predominantly static loading.
Forces of constraint
When fastening large pieces of steel or aluminum, the possibility of shear loadings from forces of constraint should
be considered in the fastening design. Either allow for movement or avoid exceeding V

t
I
3 mm
Steel fastened material 3 mm
thick, usually deforms with the
displaced base material to allow a
tight fit between fastened steel and
base material without pre-drilling.
Because conditions may vary, trial
fastenings are recommended
t
I
3 mm
Without pre-drilling:
Steel fastened material 3 mm thick
is too stiff too fully deform with the
displaced base material. The gap,
which increases with increasing t
I
,
can result in bending moments
being applied to the nail shank.
To prevent imposition of a moment
on the shank of fastener, use three
fasteners in a group.
With pre-drilling:
Ìf a gap between the fastened part
and the base material is
unacceptable, the fastened part can
be prepared with drilled holes.
