Resin capsule and method for grouting anchor elements in holes of various lengths

A method of fixing anchor bolts in drilled holes of standard or non-standard lengths comprising the steps of:

• providing a tubular, two component resin capsule having a pliable, frangible outer membrane and including two discrete compartments therein, with one of said compartments holding a resin component and with the other of said compartments holding a hardener component, said resin capsule further including a plurality of pairs of sealing means disposed along said tubular member at spaced intervals such that said tubular membrane forms a plurality of interconnected sealed capsules;
• inserting a variable number of said sealed capsules into said drilled hole until said drilled hole is sufficiently filled with a selectively variable length of said resin capsule;
• severing said resin capsule intermediate the pair of said sealed means adjacent the open end of said hole leaving a sealed capsule on either side of the severance;
• and
• inserting a bolt into said drilled hole to rupture said frangible container and rotating said bolt to thoroughly mix the components therein to form a secure anchor bolt system.

• selectively severing said resin capsule intermediate the pair of said sealing means adjacent the open end of said hole leaving a variable number of sealed capsules on either side of the severance depending on the length of said hole;
• inserting said severed portion into said drilled hole;
• and
• inserting a bolt into said drilled hole to rupture said frangible container and rotating said bolt to thoroughly mix the components therein to form a secure anchor bolt system.
