Description

Anchor fasteners are heavy-duty fasteners that attach objects to concrete. They are used in construction projects to provide stability and prevent movement. Types of anchor fasteners Anchor bolts These fasteners have one end embedded in concrete and the other end threaded to attach structural support. They are used to attach steel to concrete. Chemical anchors These anchors use a resin-based adhesive to bond to concrete. They are used when mechanical anchors are unsuitable, such as when there is a risk of fracturing. Wedge anchors These anchors require a specific holding value and torque to tighten the nut. How anchor fasteners work Anchor fasteners transfer loads such as tension and shear forces from the attached object to the concrete. Anchor fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints between objects. Anchor fasteners are used in construction projects such as buildings, bridges, and machinery installations. Factors to consider when using anchor fasteners Embedment depth: The anchor bolt should have enough embedment depth to resist uplift forces. Space between anchors: The anchors should be at least ten diameters away from each other. Space between anchor and unsupported edge: The anchor should be at least five diameters away from the unsupported edge.
