Rebar anchoring or dowel fixing is a method used in construction to secure reinforcing bars (rebars) in place. Rebars are commonly used in reinforced concrete structures to add strength and durability to the concrete.
Dowel fixing involves drilling holes into an existing concrete structure, cleaning of holes and inserting dowel bars into the holes. The dowel bars are typically made of steel and are anchored into the concrete using an epoxy adhesive. Once the adhesive has cured, the dowel bars are securely fixed in place and can be used to support additional concrete or steel structures.
Rebar anchoring, on the other hand, involves positioning the rebars in the formwork or mold before the concrete is poured. The rebars are typically placed in a specific pattern to add strength and support to the concrete structure. After the concrete has been poured and has begun to harden, the rebars are anchored into the concrete using a mechanical anchor or epoxy adhesive.
