PRODUCT CATALOGUE
Reidbar has closely defined mechanical properties which provide consistent performance under long term anchor loading. Unlike strand tendons the solid anchors have no constructional losses. Supplied in the hot rolled condition which is effectively stress-free. The high ductility and smooth, relatively flat, rate of strain hardening ensures a high margin of safety against tensile/shear overload in the case of transverse movements in the rock or soil. Resists dynamic loads (e.g. traffic wheel loads). Preloading to the full working load ensures that the load transmitted to the anchorage medium (rock or soil) is constant i.e. live loads are not transmitted to the anchorage medium. A range of chemical and expansion anchors enhance the versatility of the system. Rugged thread is resistant to damage. May be tensioned, released and re-tensioned with ease Simplicity in applying the prestress with jacks, torque wrenches or air operated tools Recoverable anchors may be removed to simplify later excavations The rigidity of the anchors makes them easy to install especially in overhead applications. High shear bond as deformations are designed for shear interlock with concrete or resin. Transmits the anchor forces efficiently to the grout body without additional fittings. Standard stock lengths may be stored and cut to suit the application. Offcut bars may be used for all standard concrete reinforcement applications in the construction site whilst small pieces are ideal for formwork, starter bars or hangers in underground works. Can be cut and spliced at any point along its length

Rock/Grout interface
The rock/grout interface is subject to so many vagaries that the choice of a suitable bond stress value is often difficult. As a general guide the ultimate bond stress for competent rock can be taken as 10% of uniaxial compressive stress (where the uniaxial compressive strength is above 20Mpa and the bond stress is limited to a max of 4.2 MPa) (after Littlejohn and Bruce 1977). Test bores will give a a guide to the initial selection but on site proof load tests are always advisable. The ability of rock to adequately confine the grout column reduces as the anchor length decreases below 1 metre (after Morris and Sharp 1973). We suggest that the bond strength of the first 600mm of the hole depth be ignored unless massive unfractured rock is at the surface. Note that with the exception of rockbolts secured into fully competent rock, the fixed anchor length should not be less than 3 metres. For information on corrosion protection refer to page 118.

NB: For working loads apply a factor of safety of at least 2.5 to these ultimate loads. The bond developed by added length of embedment may not be proportional to the additional length. The load transfer mechanism between grout and fissured rock is much less certain and it is advisable to consolidate and seal the cracked rock by pregrouting before installation of the anchor.
Non-shrink Grouts
For sites with limited or very restricted access, shrinkage compensated, cement-based grout capsules are available. These capsules are supplied as a readyto-use powder encapsulated in a water permeable skin. When required for use the capsules are simply soaked in water for about 5 minutes which penetrates the skin and wets the powder, forming a plastic non-shrink grout, Capsules are 25mm diameter x 320mm long. Product code: GROUTCAP Non shrink grout is also available from Reids in 25kg bags ready for the addition of water on site. When this grout is used in accordance with the instructions this grout will achieve a 28 day compressive strength of 65MPa.

Soil Anchors
Tables 19 and 20 give guide values for the load transfer capacity of various broad classification of non-cohesive and cohesive soils with cement grout. A test anchor should be made to reliably determine the load capacity. The following information is provided for guidance only. A geotechnical engineer should be consulted to determine the appropriate design requirements. When high strength non shrink grouts are used the ultimate loads will be in the upper range of the figures given in table 17 because of the superior bond strength likely to be provided whereas they will be in the lower range when using normal grout.

The free length is commonly grouted after the anchor has been stressed. Alternatively the free length can be sleeved during installation and the anchor grouted up to the surface. This effectively removes the bond over the free length allowing it to preload during the subsequent stressing operation.

Insert Reidbar
Spin the Reidbar anticlockwise for right hand threaded bar and clockwise for left hand threaded bar. Use an electric or air drill spinning at approximately 100 RPM. With the bar spinning, push the bar through the cartridges until the bar reaches the base of the hole. Spin for a further ten (10) seconds or shorter time if the torque on the drill becomes excessive. Spin times are critical. Spin too short incomplete mixing, spin too long bar and resin interface will be destroyed. Refer to instructions on resin cartridge packaging.

The lantern centraliser is made from tough polypropelene sheet and is supplied as a flat 220mm x 70mm precut rectangular shape that is wired around the bar and pushed together to form a lantern shape. The flexibility of the material used for the lantern centraliser means it is not critical if the lantern is slightly larger than the hole into which it is to be installed. The size of the assembled lantern can also be adjusted to suit different diameter holes.
