anchor rod/anchoring rod

ANCHOR ROD
Tirant d’ancrage; Tige d’ancrage; Boulon
d’ancrage
Building Materials; Equipment
1. A metal reinforcement of bars, wires, strands,
or tubes, placed in a vertical, horizontal, or
inclined hole in masonry or the ground.
Anchorings are known as distributed when they
are embedded over the entire length; they are
fixed, either with resin or mortar or cement
grout. Anchorings are known as limited when
they are only connected in the ground over a
limited length (anchoring to expansion).
In terms of function tie rods can be:
active or prestressed (le tirant actif ou
précontraint),
passive or not prestressed (le tirant passif ou
non précontraint).
In terms of its useful life, tie rods are:
provisional (le tirant provisoire),
definitive (le tirant deftnitif).
Their field of application is vast; they are
generally used:
to maintain the stability of large timbered
diggings, but using, in the place of struts,
sheeting piles, mainline or prefabricated
diaphragm walls, and many other supporting
devices. Tie rods are, in this case, generally
temporary;
to help stabilize a structure.
Tie rods have three distinct parts:
length of sealing, which is the anchorage zone
of the ground, called the bulb of anchoring;
free length,
head, which maintains the connection between
the ground and the work and enables possible
tensioning of reinforcement.
Syn. with LAND TIE; TENSION BAR; TIE
ROD
2. An anchorage tie rod consisting of a steel bar
in tension.
3. Syn. with ANCHOR BOLT; TIE BOLT
(from the Dictionary of Civil Engineering - Jean Paul Kurtz)
