Anchor Bolt Guide: Types, Embedment and Concrete Fixings

Short answer: Anchor bolts transfer load from steel into concrete: cast-in L and J bolts set before the pour for columns and machines, while post-installed sleeve, wedge and chemical anchors fix to cured concrete; supply in our Bolts and Nuts Supplier and the grade detail in our Fastener Grade Guide.

Cast-In Anchors

L and J bolts are placed in the formwork before the pour so the concrete grips the bend, used for columns and machinery bases, with base steel in our Carbon Steel Supplier.

Post-Installed Anchors

Sleeve and wedge anchors drill into cured concrete for retrofits while chemical anchors bond with injected resin for the highest loads, with the corrosion note in our Surface Finishing Guide.

Load and Edge Distance

Embedment depth and distance from edges set the rated load, so follow the approved design; verify supply with our Third-Party Inspection Guide and documents per our Mill Test Certificate Guide.
