Anchoring systems can be bonded to rock, concrete and different terrain surfaces. They are used to resist external overturning uplift and seismic forces and are used actively and passively in buildings.

How anchoring is done

The soil and rock nails are fully grouted and passive anchors are used for resisting the uplift forces and failure forces on slopes or excavation. The nails take advantage of residual stress in the soil or rock for load transfer. Passive anchors are normally used where prestressing is either not possible or desirable. Rock and concrete anchors are prestressed with tendons which can be bars or multiple strands. A portion of the length is bonded to rock using concrete by cement grout, resin or fixed using a mechanical anchor. The upper portion is left ungrouted for prestressing. However, it is later grouted to lock in tension and protect from corrosion.

There are different types of expansion joints with variety of applications. 

Importance of Expansion Joints in Architectural Structures

It is important to confirm the safety and durability of buildings during construction. Today the buildings are constructing in an attractive manner. Building's designs, construction and decorating methods are changing day by day. Now most of the buildings are constructed by utilizing natural resources like wind and sunlight. Buildings structures expand and contract according to the climate changes. Thermal contraction of building materials occurs in cold weather and expansion occurs when it is hot weather. Thermal stress varies according to weather changes. To avoid these types of issues Expansion Joints are needed. Expansion Joints can effectively manage the variations and control problems due to vibration, it also hold the building materials together and allow the movement of materials due to earthquake. These joints are placed where a slab meets the building, where a slab meets another slab etc.
