TITAN Injection Anchors Al <br />A new dimension for soft soil stabilization <br />TITAN Drill -and Injection Anchors <br />could cdso be used as piles or nails and are suitable for use as anchors, micro piles, soil nails, rock bolls or the <br />reinforced soil method. <br />DIN 4125 ",routed anchors" Nov. 1990 applies for all stressed anchors which have a free (unbonded) length, and <br />which lal.e tensile forces only. <br />DIN 4128 "grouted piles" April 1983 applies for micro piles and soil nails which take loads on tension and com- <br />prossionand which are grouted over their entire length. Soto nails act like a frictional reinforcnhent (hooke) in rein- <br />forced concrete or like dowels or nails in timber construction taking shear loads. <br />This new anchoring technique began In 1983 <br />and is covered by patent nos. P 3400182 and P 38 28 335. <br />A unique feature Is the drill steel use as the tension- and I or compression member. <br />The principle of the TITAN Drill- and Injection Anchor is based on the combination of 7 ideas: <br />1. Utilization of a drill steel as an anchor <br />Promthe statir, point of view, a tube is superiur to a solid <br />rod of the same cross sectional wren with respect to ban- 5 <br />ding moment, shear resistance and surface bondlfnction. <br />2. Creation of an economically priced one-time use drill <br />rod and drill bit <br />Ibis technique eliminates two labor intensive elements <br />namely irquirrd for anchor installations. <br />They are: file insertion of the anchor itself and the remo- <br />val of die drill rod and the casing. Consequently smaller <br />drill rigs can be used, the amount of grout is teduc:ed and <br />substantial labor striving-. ate achieved. <br />3. Utilization of the drill steel as grouting conduit for fil- <br />ling the annulus from the bottom -up <br />This guarantees a positive complete tilling of the annulus <br />as well as all fissures and cracks. This method Is much <br />ansicr than using additional tubes for grouting, air vents <br />and post -grouting. <br />4. The choice of a high quality structural steel otters <br />high notch toughness > 39 J in comparison to high tensi- <br />le rods or strands having > 15 J or glass fibre anchors. <br />This steel is riot affected by hydrogen embattlement or by <br />post rolling heat treatment. In addition. it offers high <br />shear resistance. <br />The use of a ferritic-austenitic stainless steel <br />TITAN-INOX for permanent anchors with a life span of <br />50 years and more <br />This material (no. 14462) ib equivalent to -double corrosl- <br />on- DIN 50929 part 3 - likeliness of corrosion in con- <br />struction pans and underwater construction. working <br />with this TITAN-INOX Material Is much easier than with <br />tlx: standard permanent anchors which are surrounced <br />by grout it, ccrrugnted plastic tube, especially as far as <br />extension (Coupling) and the. preparation for the anchor <br />head are concerned. <br />6. The threads on the TITAN anchors are formed much <br />like the ribs on a reinforcing bar fabricated according <br />to DIN 486 <br />thin deep I IIAN lhicad:; resx'". at 2.4-limes higher bond <br />friction compared to standard drill ;;te:d coil-tiveads of R <br />32 (1-;:') or R 38 (1- V') <br />7. Continuous threads guarantee the TITAN anchor can <br />be cut or coupled anywhere along its length. <br />Cutting, extending, pro stressing and load releasing on <br />the anchor are possible. A thread pitch of 6' eliminatrs <br />the. need far cuunter ruls al each coupling. <br />TITAN 30/16 <br />r TITAN 103i78 <br />
