A few people have pointed out they they have removed some loose anchors and found that it took a lot of effort. Quite a number of loose anchors have been tested with a Hydrajaws and found to withstand a 10kN force. I don't know if any have failed when being tested with a Hydrajaws tester. Of the ones I have pulled out, some of them have taken some effort to pull out and so appear to be quite strong but they have varied greatly.
I can say with certainty that anchors are continuing to become loose and I think that if nothing is done, eventually they will start falling out. The whole point of what I am doing is to be able to work out a strategy for dealing with the problem before they start falling out.
