Concrete Anchor Epoxy & Chemical Bolt Capsule vs Expansion Bolt - Pull Out Strength Differences

In this video, we can clearly see why Eagle Bond's Chemical Anchoring is the best solution for concrete anchoring.

Here are some of the Advantages of Chemical Anchoring
1. Wide combination of bolt diameter, length and grade
2. Most effective to multiple kinds of concrete based foundation
3. Safe to apply with minimal edge distancing
4. Bolt applied to drilled hole will be air tight and water proof
5. Load stress is evenly distributed to the bolt’s embedment depth
6. Anchoring load capacity can be increased by adjusting the diameter of bolt, drilled hole and embedment length
7. Flexible setting parameters, can be adjusted based on the required diameter and length

For Mechanical Anchoring like Wedge Anchor, Hit Anchor, Dyna Bolt and many more expansion type bolt
1. Pre-defined bolt size variations
2. Most Effective to hard concrete based foundations
3. Cracking or failure of concrete will occur for minimal edge distancing
4. Bolt applied to drilled holes will corrode due to hollowness
5. Load stress is focused directly on small expanded point
6. Fixed anchoring load capacity
7. Cannot be used if setting parameters like hole and depth are incorrect even with slightest dimension changes

Strong winds can result in long duration structure vibrations which weaken and allow mechanical anchors to fail. Stick with Simpson or Sika two part epoxy, I have tested those products in material labs and the concrete fails before the rebar or threaded rod ever will
But that is only when you are anchoring to existing concrete footing. Nothing beats a L-anchor rod set in wet concrete for complete structural integrity

Can we use wedge anchor with the epoxy? It will be stronger?

Can you use the epoxy and bolts to install an unground hoop into excisting concrete that is 18" thick?

This is crazy. I'm shocked by how much pull-out force the chemical bolt can offer. I guess the only drawback is that they can't be easily removed once the epoxy cures?

Eagle bond epoxy chemical anchoring solution injection type = glue. What is wrong with people naming things…

You could probably just use cheap craft epoxy and it'd be 90% as good. Add in some milled fibers and maybe some fumed silica and it'd bve even better.

Is it OK to combine concrete epoxy with Chemical Bolt Capsule type?
