(57) A fixing device (2) consists of a threaded rod (4) having tool engaging heads (8) at each end (6). The heads (8) have a maximum width which is smaller than the diameter of the rod (4). A nut (30) is fitted to the rod (4). The fixing device can be inserted from one side through a load limiting washer (26), an embedment (20) and into a threaded bore (12) in a shutter (10). After the concrete has been cast the rod (4) can be removed from the other side leaving the nut (30) in the concrete behind the embedment (20).
