Concrete and steel are one of the main materials that are used in the construction industry and safe to provide a large range of different structural solutions for various different infrastructure projects. The use of concrete and steel in different infrastructure projects is because of the versatility of these materials and also, the flexibility that is provided by these materials in terms of the structural solutions that can be achieved by the usage of these materials. This means that concrete and steel are used extensively throughout the construction industry around the world. However, in some cases different members need to be fastened together means that the use of the concrete anchor bolts is required as some kind of fast runner is needed to connect one structural member to another structural member such as a concrete pad.

Safe Transfer of Loads Through Concrete Pads

For safe and efficient transfer of the load into the ground a concrete pad is after needed which allows for the load to be transferred over a wider area which in turn reduces the stress that is associated with the load being transferred to the ground. This is extremely important when considering the strength of the soil and ground that is beneath a particular load bearing structure and failure to adequately provide a large enough pad area can result in bearing capacity failures and other serviceability issues because of the higher stresses that the ground beneath the structural member is efficient Ent experiencing. Concrete pads, are often used to provide an adequate area for the transfer of load which reduces the stress that is associated with the transfer of load to the ground. There is a need for the fastening of the load bearing structure to the efficient Ent concrete pad as there needs to be a mechanical connection between the two elements. For this reason, concrete anchor bolts are often used to provide the mechanical interlock that is required to guarantee load transfer to the pad. Furthermore, mechanical interlock is also needed between the concrete pad and the associated foundations that are below the structure. For this application, concrete anchor bolts can also be used so that the load can adequately be transferred from the superstructure to the foundations that are underground.

At Prendergast Fasteners, we are aware of the importance of high-quality concrete anchor bolts which is why we provide a large number of services related to different fasteners which can be used in different structural applications. All our fasteners are made of high-quality materials which means that you can rely on them to provide you with bearing and pull out capacity strengths that are needed to safely transmit the loads that are faced by a particular structure.
