- Friction: the tensile load applied to the anchor is transferred to the base material by means of expansion creating friction against the drill hole wall. Anchors that work on friction are typically called Expansion anchors. The most common type of expansion anchors are Sleeve Anchors and Through Bolts.
- Keying: The keying effect of concrete anchors refers to the mechanical interlocking or engagement between the anchor and the surrounding concrete material. Keying, in opposition to friction, does not stress the base material which can result in expansion cracks forming. The most common example of an anchor working on the keying principle are Screwbolts (also known as concrete anchors).
What are Anchors used for?
- Securing Structural Components: Mechanical anchors are used to attach structural elements like beams, columns, and supports to concrete foundations or walls. This ensures that these components remain securely in place, providing stability to the overall structure.
- Anchoring Equipment and Machinery: Mechanical anchors are employed to secure heavy equipment, machinery, or fixtures to concrete floors. This is common in industrial settings, where ensuring that machinery remains in place is essential for operational safety and efficiency.
- Fastening Handrails and Guardrails: Handrails and guardrails along staircases, balconies, or elevated platforms are often mechanically anchored to provide support and meet safety standard regulations.
- Installing Façades: Mechanical anchors play a crucial role in attaching building façades, curtain walls, and cladding systems to the underlying structure. This helps maintain the aesthetic appearance of the building while ensuring the safety and stability of the façade.
- Installing Racking Systems: In warehouses or storage facilities, mechanical anchors are used to secure shelving and racking systems to the floor. This ensures that the storage units remain stable and can support the weight of the stored items.
- Attaching Signage and Lighting: Street signs, traffic signals, and outdoor lighting fixtures are often mechanically anchored to concrete or other structures to withstand environmental forces and ensure longevity.
- Securing Services: Mechanical anchors are used to secure utility fixtures such as electrical boxes, conduits, and pipes to concrete surfaces. This ensures that these fixtures remain in place and maintain proper functionality.
- Temporary Works: Mechanical anchors are employed in the construction of temporary structures, such as scaffolding or temporary fencing. They provide stability and prevent these structures from shifting or collapsing.
