* For definition of high- and low-strength concrete , refer to 4.3.4 . † Tests performed in test specimens in accordance with Fig . 4.5 and having minimum length / thickness of l _b

+ 2 in . ( l _b + 50 mm ).

§ Sizes are U . S . customary and European metric d _{b , max} is maximum size sought for recognition . Ⅱ Perform tests with deformed reinforcing bars conforming to the mechanical requirements of 9.6.3.2.1 . # Tests are not required if corresponding test has been performed in accordance with Table 3.1 , 3.2 or 3.3 . ‡ Test bars in three test specimens for a total of six tests with cast-in bars and six tests with post-installed bars . ** Tests shall be required if hold cleaning equipment and technique varies from that used for tests in accordance with Table 3.1 , 3.2 or 3.3 . §§ Optional test . If this test is not performed , the evaluation report shall note that the value of f ^l to be used in the determination of development and splice lengths in accordance with c

ACI 318 shall not exceed 2500 psi ( 17.2 MPa ). ## Optional test . †† Tests required only if the system has not otherwise been qualified in accordance with Table 3.2 . In addition , Test Nos . 1b and 1d in accordance with Table 3.2 shall be conducted with # 4

( 12 mm ) reinforcing bars at 7db embedment . See 10.25.1.2 .
