There are aften those situations during foundation excavation works where a BEDROCK is encountered at the foundation level instead of the ANTICIPATED STABLE SOIL STRATA.
In such cases, adequate verifications are then done by a geotec engineer and structural engineer to confirm whether the encountered rock is a COMPETENT INSITU BEDROCK (continuous stable rock) or just an ISOLATED ROCK FRAGMENT that might not provide reliable foundation bearing capacity for the structure.
If it is confirmed as COMPETENT BEDROCK, the drilled anchorage system are properly grouted using approved NONSHRINK STRUCTURAL GROUT/PASTE like @Sika
This is generally meant to make the column foundation system from just a SURFACE BEARING to a more stable rock-anchored foundation so as to enhance uplift resistance, sliding stability or overall structural resilience.
Basically, the reinforcing bars (anchored bars) should be fully developed into the footing reinforcement cage to ensuring continuity up to the top distribution steel layer so as to create a monolithic load path and eliminating interface slip.

As household heads tried to understand how deeply the budget would affect their pockets, Elon Musk, the globally renowned technology mogul, became the world’s first dollar trillionaire. Let that sink in: a trillionaire, a figure followed by 12 zeros, or approximately Sh129 trillion. In comparison, only about 20 countries have economies larger than a trillion dollars.
