installing a wedge anchor

Chemicals, on the other hand, play a vital supporting role in the functionality of anchor fasteners. Chemical anchor systems, such as epoxy resins and urethane adhesives, offer a more versatile and reliable alternative to traditional mechanical anchors. These chemicals, when mixed, form a strong bond with the substrate, providing superior load-bearing capabilities and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and temperature changes. They are particularly useful in situations where drilling is difficult or impossible, or when a high degree of precision is required.

The terms 3% and 4% often relate to the percentage of the anchor bolt’s yield strength in relation to the concrete’s compressive strength. For example, a 3% concrete anchor bolt means that the bolt can withstand loads up to 3% of the concrete's yield strength, while a 4% bolt can handle loads up to 4%. This distinction is vital for engineers and contractors, as it influences load calculations, safety factors, and the overall design of the structure.
