expansion anchor for steel

Indented foundation bolts, also known as anchor bolts, are designed with a unique feature - an indentation or groove on their surface. This indentation serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it increases the surface area in contact with the concrete, thereby enhancing the bond strength between the bolt and the foundation. Secondly, during the tightening process, the indentation acts as a stress concentrator, causing the concrete around it to fracture, creating a mechanical interlock. This mechanism significantly improves the load-bearing capacity and resistance to shear forces.

Resin, on the other hand, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the stability of the bolt anchor. It is a two-part epoxy system consisting of a resin and a hardener. When mixed, they chemically react, forming a solid that can fill voids, bond surfaces, and strengthen the anchor's hold. Resin anchors offer advantages over mechanical anchors, particularly in situations where the substrate is weak or porous, or where vibration resistance is essential.

Expansion anchors are designed to expand when the resin cures, providing a strong hold in soft or friable substrates such as concrete or masonry. Plug anchors, on the other hand, rely on friction to hold the blockwork in place and are suitable for harder substrates such as brick or stone. Screw anchors are similar to plug anchors but have a threaded shank that allows them to be tightened to provide a more secure hold Screw anchors are similar to plug anchors but have a threaded shank that allows them to be tightened to provide a more secure hold Screw anchors are similar to plug anchors but have a threaded shank that allows them to be tightened to provide a more secure hold Screw anchors are similar to plug anchors but have a threaded shank that allows them to be tightened to provide a more secure holdresin anchors for blockwork.
