Abstract

An expansion anchor assembly to be secured in a borehole is made up of an expansion sleeve and an anchor rod. The expansion sleeve has a plurality of expansion sections arranged to be deflected radially outwardly by drawing an expansion cone on the front end of the anchor rod into the sleeve. Each expansion section has a circumferentially extending weakened section forming a bending location. The weakened section is located between a radially inner and a radially outer recess in the expansion section. Each of the recesses has a rectilinear base extending tangentially relative to the expansion sleeve axis with the bases located in a plane disposed normal relative to the expansion sleeve axis.
