What is the Difference Between Anchor Bolts and Foundation Bolts?

As a Rail Bolt Manufacturer, share with you. Anchor bolts are used to fix objects to concrete, bricks or plaster. There are different types of bolts for specific applications. Some are used when the concrete is still wet, while others are used after the concrete has set. The size of the bolt will determine whether the object is properly secured in place. Some will bend with hooks at the ends. The object must be large enough. In addition, you need to fix them properly nearby, otherwise they will damage the wall.

To install the anchor bolts, first drill some holes where you want to insert the bolts. Before putting the bolts into the holes, make sure to dust the holes. You can hit the bolt with a hammer until it enters the hole, and then tighten it.

The anchor bolts will keep the column in place and stabilize it to prevent swelling due to wind or earthquakes. Common bolt types include:

Drilling bolts: used after the concrete has solidified. Their application is not very common.

Cast-in-place bolts: Cast-in-place bolts are used for wet concrete. They can be bolts or hook rods. Hook rod is a kind of anchor bolt, used for axially loaded substrate. Cast-in-place bolts are the strongest, but they may be difficult to use. Common applications include heavy machines that are installed on concrete and connect the foundation to the walls of buildings.

There is no standard definition for the term "foundation bolt". The bolts fixed to the basic steel structure are usually called "foundation bolts". Other terms are "foundation screw", "anchor screw" and so on.

Anchor bolts are fasteners used to connect objects or structures to concrete. There are many types of anchor bolts, and most of their designs are proprietary to the manufacturing company. All consist of a threaded end to which nuts and washers can be connected to bear external loads.
