Indented foundation bolts, also known as anchor bolts, are designed with a unique feature - an indentation or groove on their surface. This indentation serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it increases the surface area in contact with the concrete, thereby enhancing the bond strength between the bolt and the foundation. Secondly, during the tightening process, the indentation acts as a stress concentrator, causing the concrete around it to fracture, creating a mechanical interlock. This mechanism significantly improves the load-bearing capacity and resistance to shear forces.

A 3 8 full threaded rod, often referred to as a fully threaded screw or all-thread, is a long, cylindrical object with threads running along its entire length. The 3 8 in the name refers to the material grade, which typically signifies a stainless steel alloy, specifically Type 308. This grade is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength, making it ideal for use in environments prone to rusting or where heat resistance is crucial.
