If you compare with existing practices, rock anchoring and its foundation system installation offers certain advantages. With the help of anchor head, it is possible to transmit directly the various applied load into the surrounding rock. Due to this reason, load bearing’s full strength has to be used.
Following are a list of advantages of rock anchors:
- Resins or bonding grouts are not required
-
- No gel time or curing is needed
- Since the necessary bonding length is completely eliminated, depth of drilling on the rock is considerably reduced.
- After installation, anchor head, entire rod both considered as tendon with anchor head.
- Before installation, there is no need of clean or dry borehole
- All the systems can be immediately put into use after the installation is completed.
- There can be reduction of project cost in the following areas
- Design costs and time
- Lots of materials can be eliminated and also you can save their curing time too.
- Borehole size and rock drilling depths are considerably reduced
- Cost of necessary equipment is also reduced.
- You can select anchorage and also design the foundation required much more easily as the rock strength and overlaying soil conditions is known in advance.
- The design process does not involve much complicated calculations using the formula and it is relatively simple and straightforward.
- It is possible to accomplish rock coring at the exact location of the system that is installed. Also, by using a coring system, the system can be immediately installed. Contact us if you want to know more.
