 |
Expansion
Type
Tension loads
are transferred to the base material through a portion of the anchor
that is expanded inside the drill hole.
Examples: Red
Head Trubolts, Dynabolts, Multi-Set II Anchors and Hammer-Sets
|
 |
Adhesive
Type
Resistance to
tension loads is provided by the presence of an adhesive between
the threaded rod (or rebar) and the inside walls of the drill hole.
Examples: A7,
C6, G5
|
 |
Keying
Type
Holding strength
comes from a portion of an anchor that is expanded into a hollow
space in a base material that contains voids such as concrete block
or brick.
Examples: Adhesives
used in screen tubes or umbrella insert
|
 |
Friction
Type
Load capacity
is created by driving a fastener into a pre-drilled hole that is
slightly smaller than the fastener itself.
Examples: Redi-Drives
|
 |
Mechanical
Interlocking Type
Tension loads
are resisted by threads on the fastener engaging with threads cut
into the base material.
Examples: LDT,
Tapcon and E-Z Ancors
