- Abstract
- The Construction Industry Institute (CII) funded this research project for the purpose of seeking a more cost-effective method of installing anchor bolts. The topic of anchor bolts is far-ranging from small anchor bolts (as small as 1/4 in. in diameter) that might be shot or drilled in place to large, multiple-inch diameter anchor bolts (several feet long, cast-in-place - either as one piece or assembled as several pieces). Many commercial anchor bolt systems are currently in use in the construction industry. In the United States alone, there are 17 manufacturers who furnish anchor bolt systems. Materials, installation methods, and costs vary widely. As previously noted, CII desired a study of the area of anchor bolt design and construction with a view to looking for systems that might be more cost effective than the traditional systems now used.
