Notes:
ASTM specified material for anchor bolts, tie rods and similar applications ca.n be obtained fiom either specifications for threaded bolts and studs normally used as connectors or for structural material available in round stock that may then be threaded.
The material supplier should be consulted for availability of size and length.
Suitable nuts by grade may be obtained from ASTM Specification A553.
Anchor bolt material that is quenched and tempered should not be welded or heated
to facilitate erection.
