Applications of EPDM Washered Fasteners

1. Load Requirements The primary consideration is the maximum load that the composite beam will experience. Heavy loads typically require larger diameter studs or a greater number of studs to ensure adequate shear transfer.

Heavy-duty expansion anchors are mechanical anchors that create a secure hold by expanding within a drilled hole in concrete or masonry. As the anchor is tightened, the anchor body expands against the walls of the hole, ensuring a tight grip that can safely hold heavy loads. These anchors come in various materials, including steel and stainless steel, which are chosen based on the environment and load requirements.

- Environment The operating conditions, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, or high temperatures, can affect the performance of anchor bolts. Sometimes, specialty coatings or materials may be needed for enhanced durability.

2. Diameter and Length The diameter and length of the anchor bolts should be tailored to the load requirements of the application. Specifications must categorize bolts by their tensile and shear strength, allowing engineers to choose the appropriate size.
