Introduction:
Anchor dowel fixing is an important activity so as to ensure proper connection and
bearing for the structural member. The anchor set provides the required strength for
reinforcement and structural system as a whole. The anchorset grouts are used for providing
high strength anchoring of reinforcement bars into concrete and masonry.

Tools Required:
 Drilling machine
 Air blower
 2 component cera anchorset
 Pointing trowel
 Designated reinforcement bars
 Mixing pan and trowel

Advantages:
 Rapid setting
 High strength
 Non expansive ad non shrinkage
 Resistant to corrosion

Material used for anchor fixing:


The product used here for anchor dowel fixing is CERA ANCHORSET from Cera-
chem private ltd. It is a two component system which consists of a base and a hardner. The
base is a polyester resin which reacts with hardner to form a quicksetting, non expansive
system which provides high strength connection for the reinforcement bars.
Method of Application:

 The area where the anchor dowel has to be fixed should be marked with the
aid of structural drawing.
 Proper drilling machine should be employed and proper drilling bit has to be
employed so as to make a hole which is not too big or nor too small to
accommodate the reinforcement bar. For example, to accommodate a
reinforcement of 8 mm dia a drilled hole of 10 mm dia would be suitable.( dia
+ 2 or 3 mm )
 The hole should be taken to a depth of 100 mm so as to ensure proper
anchorage of the reinforcement bars.
 The drilled hole should be free from dust and loose material. This as to be
ensured with the use of air blower.
 The drilled hole should be wetted before application of anchor set.
 The two component anchorset has to be mixed in the ratio 1:3. i.e. 1 part of
base to 3 parts of hardner until to get a consistent paste.
 The reinforcement should be cleared of from all grease and rust flakes. The
length of the reinforced bars should be ensured for proper lap length to
connect to the continuing reinforcement.
 The mixed anchor resin should be filled in the drilled hole completely.
 The reinforcement bars should be pushed into the anchor resin filled drilled
hole until the anchor resin squeezes out.
 The anchored reinforcement should not be disturbed for its initial setting time
.i.e. 20-30 min.
 The fully set anchor set system will be able to impart a strength of 75 Mpa(
N/mm2)
Pictorial description of training:

Materials used Marking of dowel holes

Drilling of holes Cleaning with air blower

Surface wetted before application Ensuring ratio of 1:3 (base: hardner)


Mixing to get a consistent paste Filling of drilled holes with anchor resin

Insertion of reinforcement bar Finished anchor dowels

Qualities check points:


 Anchor resin (e.g.: lockset, Fischer injection mortar) not used for dowel fixing
 Minimum anchorage length of 100mm for dowel fixing not ensured
 Careful drill hole cleaning with a brush and blow out tool not ensured
 Mixing of two part components as per manufacturer instructions not ensured
 Drill hole diameter not suitable for fixing the specified reinforcement dia (too small -
too big)
 Proper fixing / embedding of reinforcement in applied anchor resin not ensured
(anchor resin must squeeze out of drill hole when finally fixed at final depth)
 Reinforcement disturbed when initial selling is on (results in getting loose)
 Reinforcement not fixed horizontal / vertical, proper level so as to lap / connect to the
continuing reinforcement
Conclusion:
Anchor dowel fixing should be given importance to avoid any further cracks at the
column beam junction, Lintle beam, slab to slab connection and masonry joints. The activity
has to be carried out with proper mix ratio and bearing to get high strength anchor dowels.
The method of application should be closely supervised for desired results.
