A concrete anchor assembly includes an anchor body including a rod portion and a head portion; the head portion extending laterally from said rod portion, the head portion including a threaded bore; and the rod portion including an internally threaded bore, the rod portion including an outside thread.

An anchor for supporting a load includes an anchor rod having a first threaded end portion for being embedded in a concrete structure and a second end portion for attachment to a load; a metallic wedge-shaped body attached to the first threaded end portion; and the body includes a circular cross-section, a circular top surface and a circular bottom surface joined by a side surface.

Presently disclosed is a standoff fastener for use in a compound floor structure. The threaded fastener includes a threaded standoff portion designed to accept a nut which has a diameter larger than a head portion of the standoff fastener. The head portion is located centrally within the fastener in order to reduce a tendency of the fastener to pivot within a driver during the fastening process.

An anchor holder for concrete decks comprises a body for being inserted into an opening in a metal deck, the body including an outside vertical wall and an opening for receiving an anchor. The body includes arms normally biased extending outwardly from the vertical wall, the arms being collapsible toward the body when the body is inserted into the opening in the metal deck and expanding outwardly after passing the opening to be disposed below the metal deck. A support is attached to the body, the support to engage a top surface of the metal deck to apply an upward force on the body and keep the collapsible arms engaged against an underside of the metal deck when the body is attached to the metal deck.

A mixture includes at least two radically curable compounds as a backbone resin, and is useful in reactive resins. In particular, the mixture reduces the viscosity of such reactive resin-containing mixtures and thus the dispensing forces required for ejecting the reactive resin components produced therefrom. The mixture also increases the performance of the reactive resins containing such mixtures and of the reactive resin components produced therefrom. Further, said reactive resins and the reactive resin components thereof are useful for construction purposes, in particular for chemical fastening.

The present invention pertains to an element of an autoclave aerated concrete (AAC) material having a web of a second material different from AAC embedded therein and generally centrally disposed in a depth dimension of the element and between two planar faces and the second material supporting hardware for connecting the element to other structures.

Concrete coupling assembly comprises a base holder for being attached to a concrete forming surface, the base holder including a central opening; a coupler having one end disposed within the central opening, the coupler having an axis for being positioned substantially transverse to the forming surface, the coupler having first and second threaded bores through the one end for attachment of a threaded rod; and a separate anchor body threadedly attached to another end of the coupler.

A long-term stabilized aqueous initiator composition, which includes components for curing of a two-component mortar system composition. The long-term stabilized aqueous initiator composition includes an activator component that has an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal salt, an accelerator component that has a water-soluble alkali and/or alkaline earth metal salt, a retarder selected from citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic, gluconic acid, and a mixture of these components, a mineral filler selected from a limestone filler, corundum, dolomite, alkaline-resistant glass, crushed stone, gravel, pebble, and a mixture of these components, a thickening agent, and water.
