For post-installed anchors, there are two main technologies: mechanical and chemical.
Mechanical anchors are popular for their ease of installation and immediate loading.
Chemical anchors offer the highest loads and ensure a sealed hole while giving a more flexible design configuration compared to mechanical anchors.
When designing baseplate connections, engineers constantly weigh the benefits of both technologies to make the right decision for the application at hand.
