Abstract
A method for anchoring an expansion anchor in a borehole is disclosed. The expansion anchor includes an anchor bolt and an expansion body on a first terminal section of the anchor bolt, an actuator disposed on a second terminal section of the anchor bolt, and an expansion sleeve disposed around the anchor bolt. In an embodiment, the method includes hammering the expansion anchor into the borehole in an insertion direction and actuating the actuator to screw the expansion body outwardly in a direction that is opposite the insertion direction such that the expansion sleeve is expanded radially outwardly and digs into a wall of the borehole and such that the expansion body digs into the wall of the borehole.
