They are known to be used as a brick tie also when existing ties have failed.
You drill part way throgh the inside skin from externaly and resin bond these in.
But as LLL has done, I have used these to stich up minor cracks.

What a week my timing belt snapped on my van and the silo has been down for 3 days so had to mix the dust out of it in a mixer and the boys let me down on monday not happy! And the client wanted to make a few changes after the setts were in..
But I have some more work lined up and its Friday
Poor service again yet again.....

hagg a timing chain is one of them...
I had one go or a cam belt or whatever it is on the M1
not a pleasant experience losing all power at 80 mph
but my mechanic said you should change certain things every 12 months
i just drive till it dies

That's one of the benefits of owning a Nissan. They use chains not belts, so they fail once in able moon.

my mechanic reported only the other day, how a lot of timing chains are starting to fail, honda diesel's at 100k, BMW's and others. much prefer a safe engine, but they are few and far between.
I much prefer a suspender belt, but I see less of them nowdays.

It's recommended you replace the chains, but not as often as a belt.
