anchor bolt wedge type

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.

Another critical aspect of foundation bolts is their ability to withstand extreme loads and forces. Heavy machinery, such as cranes, presses, and generators, can generate significant amounts of force and weight. Without proper support, these forces could cause the equipment to collapse or become misaligned, leading to costly repairs and downtime. Foundation bolts are designed to withstand these forces, providing a reliable and durable connection between the equipment and the ground.
