Failure Modes Of Chemical Anchoring

Chemical anchors provide strong bonding strength to connect objects into concrete and masonry. They are commonly used for all kinds of fixing projects from house repair to civil construction applications. To achieve a successful chemical anchoring and to ensure the reinforcement is strong enough, there are a few key factors to comply and not a single one can be omitted. For example, the diameter of the rod or rebar, the type of chemical anchor, the depth of the hole(embedment), the condition of the concrete (compressive strength), and the installation method. These key factors are influencing the strength of anchorage system and are critical in calculating the load capacity of chemical anchor.
