What is an anchor bolt?
Short answer
An anchor bolt is a bolt that fixes structures or equipment to concrete. Anchor bolts are cast into or drilled into concrete foundations for columns and equipment.
Anchor Bolt: What to Know Before Ordering
- Cast-in or post-installed
- L, J and headed styles
- Made to drawing
- ASTM F1554 covers steel anchor bolts (Grades 36, 55 and 105) for anchoring structural supports to concrete; stainless, duplex and nickel-alloy anchor bolts are made to the project drawing / purchase specification
