R51 Self-Drilling Soil Nail Features
- The anchor rod features a hollow bore for flushing, or simultaneous drilling and grouting.
- It is manufactured in accordance EN 10083-1 standard.
- The Standard thread profile is according to ISO 1720 or ISO 10208. This makes the bond between the rod and grout concrete strong enough.

- The manufacturing process assures the balance of yield strength and ductility. Prevent hollow bar anchors from sudden fracture while drilling.

Bending Test hollow bar
- All parts of the system can be supplied with surface treatment, with a hot-dip galvanised finish or with a duplex coating.

1. Products standards:
‘EU Construction Products Directive’: EN 14199:2005 Micropiles and EN 14490:2010 Soil Nails.
2. What the EU standards require?
EN 14199:2005 “Micropiles”, clause 6.2.1 and EN 14490:2010 “Soil Nails”, clause 6.2.2.2 require:
Yield Stress, fyk, between 400 to 600 MPa (60 to 87 ksi)
Ductility (Elongation Agt > 5% required by EN 10080, ASASTM A615 , ASASTM A370)
All the required properties above are tested of Finished hollow-bar, NOT raw materials.
3. What is Agt?
Agt denotes the elongation up to ultimate load without reduction of cross-section.
It is not to be confused with total elongation, A, up to rupture.
Usually elongation, A, has double the value of Agt.
4. What is the standard of quality for SDA? Is the higher the strength, the better?
No, the grade of material strength is based on its yield strength. However, for the Grade of Product Quality, the key index should be its ductility (i.e. the values of Agt and Rm/Rp0.2, according to Eurocode EC2).
