Bust Expanding Anchors, also known as expanding anchors or bust anchors, are deep foundation support systems designed for pole line construction and securing structures in various soil types. These anchors consist of a one-piece formed steel unit with a curved base plate and eight expanding blades, along with a forged eye rod that attaches separately. Bust Expanding Anchors come in different sizes, typically ranging from 6 Zu 12 Zoll in der Breite, and are compatible with rod diameters from 5/8 inch to 1 1/4 Zoll.
Bust Expanding Anchors function by transferring structural loads to stable soil layers. Installation involves augering a hole parallel to the guy angle, inserting the anchor with the attached rod, and using an expanding and tamping tool to strike the top of the anchor, opening the blades into undisturbed soil. The hole is then backfilled and tamped. Bust Expanding Anchors are commonly used with utility poles, Türme, Antennen, retaining walls, und Straßenlaternenfundamente.
Hauptmerkmale:
• Hot-dip galvanized coating for maximum corrosion protection
• Curved base design for even weight distribution and reduced vibration
• Integral retainer to hold the nut from the forged eye rod
• Expandable blades for optimal soil engagement
• Suitable for installation in various soil conditions
• Immediate load-bearing capability after setting

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
What is a Bust Expanding Anchor?
A Bust Expanding Anchor is a hardware device used in pole line construction. It consists of a steel rod with a tapered end and a conical-shaped expansion shell. When inserted into a pre-drilled hole, it expands to grip the surrounding soil, providing a secure anchor point for poles and structures.
How does a Bust Expanding Anchor work?
The anchor is installed in an augered hole parallel to the guy angle. A rod is secured to the anchor and lowered into the hole. An expanding and tamping tool is used to strike the anchor top, opening the blades into the soil. The hole is then backfilled and tamped for maximum holding power.
What sizes are available for Bust Expanding Anchors?
Bust Expanding Anchors come in various sizes, typically ranging from 6 Zoll zu 12 Zoll in der Breite. Common sizes include 6-inch, 8-Zoll, 10-Zoll, and 12-inch models. The size refers to the anchor hole diameter and corresponds to different rod sizes and holding capacities.
What are the key features of a quality Bust Expanding Anchor?
Quality Bust Expanding Anchors feature a one-piece formed design with wings and a base, a nut retainer on the bottom, and a protective coating for rust inhibition. They are often hot-dip galvanized for maximum corrosion protection and can be installed immediately on street light foundations.
How are Bust Expanding Anchors installed?
Installation requires a hand or power auger to drill a hole at a 45° to 60° angle in line with the guy. The anchor is attached to a rod and lowered into the hole. An expanding bar is used to strike the top plate, rotating around the anchor during the busting process. Endlich, the hole is backfilled and tamped.
What tools are needed for installing Bust Expanding Anchors?
Installation requires a hand or power auger for drilling the hole, an expanding and tamping bar or mechanical tamper for expanding the anchor, and a shovel for backfilling. The Chance fiberglass handle Expanding and Tamping Bar is specifically designed for this purpose.
What is the holding capacity of Bust Expanding Anchors?
Holding capacity varies based on anchor size and soil class. Zum Beispiel, an 8-inch anchor can hold up to 26,500 lbs in Class 3 soil, while a 12-inch anchor can hold up to 40,000 lbs in the same soil class. Capacity decreases in softer soil classes.
What soil types are Bust Expanding Anchors suitable for?
Bust Expanding Anchors are suitable for Class 3, 4, 5, 6, Und 7 soils, which range from 100-600 inch-pounds with a soil test probe. They are effective in various soil conditions but may have reduced performance in wet or plastic soils after rain.
How does soil condition affect anchor performance?
Soil condition significantly impacts anchor performance. Seeping groundwater can reduce holding capacity by up to 50%. The effectiveness of the anchor depends on proper hole size and thorough backfill tamping. Wet or plastic soil after rain can make tamping difficult and reduce effectiveness.
What are the limitations of Bust Expanding Anchors?
Performance depends on backfill effectiveness, which can be challenging in wet or plastic soils. Seeping groundwater can significantly reduce holding capacity. Installation must be within 5° of alignment with the guy load to prevent premature failure. Overstressing the bolt by exceeding recommended torques should be avoided.
