An anchor fastener, as the name suggests, is a device designed to securely fix an object or structure into a base material. It comes in various forms - from screws and bolts to adhesives and expansion anchors - each tailored for specific applications and substrates. They provide a robust connection, distributing loads evenly and preventing any potential slippage or detachment. For instance, in concrete structures, anchor bolts are used to anchor steel columns, while in woodworking, dowel pins serve as anchor fasteners for joining pieces of wood.

In addition to providing a strong and reliable connection between the concrete slab and the steel beams or girders, weld shear connector studs also help to improve the overall stability and performance of a structure. By effectively transferring the loads between the concrete and steel components, these studs help to distribute the forces evenly throughout the structure, reducing the risk of uneven settling or structural failure
