Chemical anchor bolts have become indispensable in modern construction for post-installation connections in concrete structures, particularly in curtain wall engineering, structural renovation, and seismic retrofitting. This review synthesises findings from five key studies examining the anchoring performance of chemical anchor bolts under various conditions including static loading, cyclic loading, combined tensile and shear loadings, and varied embedment depths and concrete strengths. The reviewed literature collectively demonstrates that, pullout capacity increases with both bolt diameter and concrete compressive strength up to a critical threshold, failure modes transition from anchor pullout to concrete splitting as concrete grade or bolt size increases, cyclic loading degrades bond-anchorage performance, with variable amplitude loading causing greater damage than constant amplitude loading, embedment depth of 15D consistently yields optimal pullout resistance across all concrete strengths and the shear-tension interaction formula prescribed by ACI 318-14 is overly conservative for chemical anchor bolts embedded in high-strength concrete. Key findings suggest that for curtain wall engineering, a C40 concrete substrate with M14 anchor bolts offers the best balance between structural performance and material utilisation. This review identifies research gaps and provides design guidance for practitioners and future investigators.
