The term “1%” in relation to wedge anchor bolts typically pertains to a specific aspect of their performance or engineering standards. This might refer to the allowable tolerance in manufacturing, the expected load tolerance, or even specific design codes within a project. In structural engineering, even a 1% variance can significantly affect the safety and durability of a construction project. Thus, understanding and adhering to precise specifications is crucial.

The process begins with drilling a hole into the substrate to the required depth. The bolt is then inserted into the hole, followed by the introduction of the chemical compound. This mixture, usually composed of a resin and a hardener, reacts when combined, expanding and filling the space around the bolt. As the mixture cures, it forms a strong, rigid bond that not only secures the bolt but also distributes the load evenly, enhancing structural integrity.

The primary function of a continuously threaded rod lies in its ability to provide tension and compression support in structural systems. In construction, they are commonly used in pre-stressed concrete, where tension is applied before the concrete sets, enhancing its strength and durability. They also find usage in post-tensioning systems, where tension is applied after the concrete has cured, providing additional stability to the structure.
