Anchor Bolts in Construction: Types, Installation, and Load Capacity

Keywords: Bolts, High-Strength Bolts, FastenersAnchor bolts are critical for securing structures to concrete foundations. This technical overview covers expansion anchors, sleeve anchors, and chemical anchors. It explains how each type develops holding power and their respective tensile and shear load capacities. The importance of using high-strength bolts in anchor assemblies and following strict installation procedures (hole size, cleaning, torque) is emphasized to ensure the safety of buildings, heavy equipment, and infrastructure.
