A
corrosion-protected, self-drilling anchor and an anchor
subunit and to a method for the production thereof is provided. A self-drilling anchor of the invention includes a number of anchor subunits, each with a hollow bar element, which are connected together by the formation of an axial bell
butt joint to form a connected pull and pressure member. The first
subunit t its end has a
drill bit and the
subunit is connected non-rotatably with its end to a drilling and
injection device. It is provided according to the invention that each hollow bar element is surrounded by a sheathing except for its end sections and the annular gap between the sheathing and hollow bar element is grouted with a first
corrosion protection compound. A coupler in the area of the bell
butt joint fits tightly against the sheathings of the two hollow bar elements which are part of the bell
butt joint. The hollow space between the coupler and hollow bar elements is filled with a second
corrosion protection compound. A method of the invention provides for the
prefabrication of a number of anchor subunits at the factory to
drill these into the substrate at the site of the anchor to be produced and thereby for connecting them together with the formation of bell butt joints, whereby in the area of the bell butt joint a coupler fits tightly against the ends of two neighboring sheathings and the hollow space between the coupler and hollow bar element is filled with a second corrosion protection compound.
