2. X-Bracing An extension of diagonal bracing, X-bracing involves two diagonal members crossing each other, forming an X shape. This configuration provides increased stiffness and allows for greater load distribution across the frame.

Furthermore, it is essential to consider the material being anchored into. Different substrates—such as concrete, brick, or hollow blocks—have varying characteristics that can influence the performance of expandable anchors. Therefore, understanding the existing conditions and selecting the appropriate anchor type is vital.

1. Material Composition Chemical anchor bolts are typically composed of steel, stainless steel, or galvanized steel. The choice of material should correspond to the environmental conditions to ensure corrosion resistance and structural integrity.

4. Variety of Heads and Coatings Tek screws come in various types of heads (such as hex, pan, or round) and can be coated in materials like zinc or epoxy for increased resistance to rust and corrosion. This allows for customization based on the specific needs of a project.
