Resin or Mechanical? (for outdoor application in coastal area)

Resin or Mechanical? (for outdoor application in coastal area)

I'm working on a project securing handrails to the top of an external concrete chamber wall in a coastal area. Having joined the anchor design webinar this morning, I'm just wondering if I should be specifying resin anchors instead of mechanical for this application. The main reason being the current edge distance is 68, allowable is 55. Even with SS anchors, would the resin anchors reduce the possibility of edge failure caused by freeze/thaw or choride-attack?
