Abstract
A bolted connection for a recess in a ground that is delimited by an inside wall surface includes a bolt configured to be disposed in the recess. A curable substance configured to be disposed in an annular gap between the bolt and the inside wall surface of the recess is useable to fix the bolt in the ground. The substance has a viscosity which is sufficiently low to cause the substance to not only spread into the annular gap, but also to penetrate the ground surrounding the annular gap.

A bolted connection for a recess in a ground that is delimited by an inside wall surface, comprising:
- a bolt configured to be disposed in the recess;
- and
- a curable substance configured to be disposed in an annular gap between the bolt and the inside wall surface of the recess, the substance being useable to fix the bolt in the ground,
- wherein the substance has a viscosity which is sufficiently low to cause the substance to not only spread into the annular gap, but also to penetrate the ground surrounding the annular gap.
A method for permanently fixing a bolted connection in a recess in a ground, comprising:
- after production of the recess intended for the bolted connection, introducing a curable substance into the recess;
- and then
- screwing a bolt of the bolted connection into the recess, at least portions of which are filled with the substance, such that the substance is partly displaced into the adjoining ground.
