ABSTRACT An expanding anchor assembly for insertion into a bore in ground. The assembly comprises a one-piece expanding sleeve divided by longitudinal slits into seg- ments. A conical expander engages the bore internal end of the expanding sleeve for expanding same. A bolt is also provided and has a bore internal end engaging the expander and a bore external end. A tightening member is provided on the bore external end of the bolt. A spacer bushing extends around the bolt and engages a sleeve-like tube section. A washer is provided beneath the tightening means for clamping a workpiece against the surface of the ground. The sleeve-like tube section is a soft steel tube section having a pronounced plastic flow limit. The tube section has a predetermined wall thickness such that, upon application of a setting force specific for the bolt anchor, compression stresses will prevail in the tube section which equal the stresses pre- vailing in the material of the tube section when the plastic flow limit is reached. The tube section has a hardened thin surface layer breaking in a brittle fashion when the sleeve-like tube deforms axially after attaining the anchor specific setting force.
