Anchor Bolts
An anchor bolt is any type of bolt that is embedded in concrete and used to anchor columns or other supports to a foundation.
Anchor bolts are available in several varieties. The most common type of anchor bolt is a bent bolt shaped like the letter L. The top of the L shape is threaded. Anchor rods, another type of anchor bolts, are straight bolts that are threaded on both ends and are used to anchor signs, traffic signal poles, and bridge bearings.
Anchor bolts are widely used in building construction, highways, and light rail systems. When using anchor bolts, it is very important to consider their material and construction in comparison with the demands that will be placed on them in terms of rust and corrosion, strength, and temperature. Highways and bridges in particular place many demands on bolts in terms of the potential for rust and corrosion.
