3 8 wedge bolt

Structural bolts are made from high-strength materials such as grade 5 or grade 8 steel, making them resistant to corrosion and wear. They are heat-treated to achieve the necessary tensile strength, which can range from 120,000 to 180,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This high-strength capacity is crucial for withstanding the dynamic forces and stresses that structures face over time, including wind, seismic activity, and the weight of the structure itself.

Screws are another essential type of structural fastener, distinguished by their helical threads. They provide excellent holding power when driven into materials like wood, metal, or plastic. Common screw types include wood screws, machine screws, and self-tapping screws. Wood screws are designed specifically for use in wooden materials, while machine screws are used in conjunction with nuts or tapped holes in metal. Self-tapping screws, on the other hand, create their own thread as they are driven into the material, eliminating the need for pre-drilling.
