What are the application locations for chemical anchoring?
a.Structural Construction Applications
- Fixing Steel Structures: Used for anchoring steel beams, columns or support elements to concrete floors or walls. Reinforced Concrete Reinforcement: Fixing new elements (columns, beams) to provide additional support to existing concrete structures in buildings in earthquake zones.
- Facade and Facade Systems: Installation of facade cladding, glass panels or decorative elements on concrete surfaces.
b. Infrastructure Projects
- Tunnel and Subway Construction: Fixing rail systems, ventilation equipment or cable ducts to tunnel walls.- Bridges and Viaducts: Anchoring barriers, railings or guy cables to concrete piers.- Dams and Water Structures: Chemical anchors with waterproofing properties are used for fixing water retaining structures or pipe systems.
c. Industrial Applications
- Machine and Equipment Installation: Fixing heavy machinery to concrete floors in factories. Thanks to its vibration resistance, it is frequently preferred in these areas.- Racking and Storage Systems: Anchoring of warehouse shelves or heavy load-bearing suspension systems.
- Power Plants: Fixing turbines, generators or pipelines.
d. Restoration and Historical Buildings
- Stone and Brick Surfaces: In the restoration of historical buildings, chemical anchors are used on sensitive surfaces that can be damaged by mechanical anchors. The resin provides a strong hold without destroying the structure of the surface.
- Retrofitting Works: Installation of additional support elements to increase the earthquake resistance of old structures.
e. Special and Daily Uses
- Home and Garden Applications: Fixing structures such as pergolas, porches or gazebos to concrete floors. Also installation of gates, fences or awnings on garden walls.
- Plumbing and Piping Systems: Anchoring of pipes in water, electricity or heating systems to walls or floors.
- Safety Equipment: Installation of fire escapes, railings or safety barriers.
f. Uses Suitable for Harsh Conditions
- Marine and Coastal Structures: Saltwater and corrosion resistant chemical anchor types are ideal for structures such as piers, harbors or breakwaters.
- High Temperature or Chemical Environments: Used in petrochemical plants or laboratories due to the high chemical resistance of the resins.
- Cold Climates: Chemical anchors with special formulas that can harden even at low temperatures are preferred in polar regions or cold storage.
As a result, the application of Sprouting (Chemical Anchoring) has an important place in the strengthening of both old structures and newly constructed structures. This process increases the durability of the structure and ensures its structural integrity. It also provides resistance against environmental factors and ensures the longevity of structures. For strong, durable and safe structures, it is very advantageous to prefer sprout planting and chemical anchoring applications.
