Full title and description
ASTM E1190-21 — Standard Test Methods for Strength of Power‑Actuated Fasteners Installed in Structural Members. This standard specifies static test procedures to determine axial tensile and shear strengths of power‑actuated (powder‑ or gas‑actuated) fasteners installed in structural members such as concrete, concrete masonry, and steel, providing data used to establish allowable design values for these types of fasteners.
Abstract
ASTM E1190-21 defines laboratory test methods for measuring the anchorage capability (axial tensile) and shear resistance of power‑actuated fasteners installed in structural substrates. Tests cover specimen preparation, installation, loading arrangements, test execution and basic reporting of results so that manufacturers, testing laboratories, and engineers can develop consistent, comparable strength data for use in design and evaluation.

Scope
The scope covers static axial tensile and shear test methods for power‑actuated fasteners installed in structural members of concrete, concrete masonry, and steel. The procedures are intended to produce representative strength values for fasteners installed and loaded in those substrates so that applicable design values and performance comparisons can be derived. The standard does not provide design rules but provides laboratory test data methods to support design and evaluation.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition and classification of power‑actuated fasteners and test specimen types.
- Installation procedures and nominal installation conditions to ensure repeatable, representative results.
- Static axial tensile test method (pull‑out / tension testing) and reporting of ultimate loads and modes of failure.
- Static shear test method (single shear) with specified fixturing, load application, and failure characterization.
- Requirements for test apparatus, alignment, and load rates to reduce testing variability.
- Basic statistical treatment and reporting of test results to support derivation of characteristic or allowable values.
- Applicability to substrates: cast and masonry concrete units and structural steel, with notes on limits of applicability and test interpretation.
These topics summarize the principal test items and reporting expectations in E1190‑21.
Typical use and users
Primary users are materials and structural testing laboratories, fastener manufacturers, product qualification teams, structural and façade engineers, code officials, and QA/QC groups. Typical uses include product development and qualification, verification testing for submittals and evaluations, deriving published strength data for catalogs, and supporting code or project acceptance of power‑actuated fastener applications. Accredited test labs commonly use E1190 alongside related anchor and fastening standards.
Related standards
Commonly referenced or complementary standards include ASTM E488 (strength of anchors in concrete elements), ASTM E1512 (bonded anchors test methods), ASTM E2265 (terminology for anchors and fasteners), relevant ACI/ASCE guidance on anchors and fasteners, and various ICC‑ES acceptance criteria and manufacturer test procedures. These documents are often used together to cover terminology, alternative anchor types, and regulatory evaluation pathways.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ASTM E1190‑21 is a set of laboratory test methods that measure static axial tensile and shear strength of power‑actuated fasteners installed in structural members to produce comparable strength data for evaluation and design support.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers specimen preparation, installation, test fixturing, loading (tension and shear), failure observation, and reporting needed to determine strength characteristics of power‑actuated fasteners in concrete, concrete masonry, and steel substrates. It provides testing procedures rather than prescriptive design values.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Testing laboratories (including accredited labs), fastener manufacturers for product development and qualification, structural engineers for performance verification, and code or product evaluation bodies that need laboratory strength data.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The 2021 edition (E1190‑21) is the listed current edition (published 2021). Users should confirm whether a newer revision has been published after 2021 before relying on the edition for formal compliance.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: E1190 is part of ASTM’s family of test methods and terminology covering anchors and fasteners; it is commonly used alongside standards such as ASTM E488, E1512, and terminology standards like E2265. These related standards address other anchor types, bonded anchors, and common terminology.
