There are many different methods for preventing bolts from coming loose and most if not all were investigated for SLTS structures Many of these solutions work very well for other types of connections However for SLTS structures it is more effective to properly torque the nuts to get the right clamp force in the connections Following are some of the traditional nut locking

The embedded depth for bent bar anchor bolts is determined by measuring the from the masonry surface to the surface bearing weight on the bent end minus the diameter of one bolt Forces Acting on the Whole System of Masonry Buildings The two main types of force that are acting on the masonry structure of a building are shear and tension
In the past when a new compressor engine was installed the anchor bolts were simply tightened often with a box wrench and sledge hammer While the bolt was quot tight quot how tight was not known As pointed out above less tightness can be worse than too much tightening up to a point Later it became field practice to use a torque wrench which does give an
Bolts may seem simple but in reality the proper design for manufacturing of bolted joints requires careful study Figure 12 9a shows two parts joined together by a nut and bolt with a through hole Notice how the bolt s shank is not in contact with the parts Tightening the bolt puts the shank in tension counteracted by compressive forces on the contact surfaces of the head and
Torque is related to bolt tightness but many additional factors – such as friction – combined into a single nut factor can have a significant impact on the relationship of torque to the tightness of the bolted joint How do you tighten a bolt Grasp the top of the bolt stem with the pliers again Take hold of the nut with the wrench and apply slow steady pressure to the nut It
Bolt Type Anchor bolts are used to connect structural and non structural elements to the wall Available Sizes M6 to M12 Material Galvanized Iron PIN TYPE ANCHOR BOLT Pin type anchors are installed in pre drilled holes with a hammer strike that drives a nail into the anchor body expanding the anchor to form a tight fit Available Sizes M6 to M20 Material

2021 11 08 nbsp 0183 32 As their name implies these anchor bolts are the simplest and often the strongest because they are cast directly into the material In almost all cases this means that a cast in place anchor bolt will be set into concrete while it is still wet This allows it to become fully secured as the concrete surface cures and hardens Below are just a few well known cast in place
It is a simple analogy to say that a snug tight bolt is installed in much the same manner as the lug nut on the wheel of a car each nut is turned to refusal and the pattern is cycled and repeated so that all fasteners are snug Essentially snug tight bolts utilize the higher shear bearing strength of high strength bolts with installation procedures similar to those used for ASTM
