Anchor bolts are essential components in the construction and engineering sectors, crucial for the stability and safety of various structures. Manufactured from high-quality steel, these bolts are designed to anchor buildings, bridges, highways, and other infrastructures firmly to concrete foundations. At the forefront of American-made quality, Atlanta Rod produces anchor bolts ranging from ¼” to 4-1/2” and metric equivalents in diameter, using carbon, alloy, stainless, and exotic steels. They offer a variety of shapes including straight, bent, and headed bolts to meet diverse ASTM specifications, reflecting the commitment to support domestic industries and adhere to the Build America, Buy America Act.

Our customization extends to thread creation, offering cut or rolled threads on one or both ends in various types such as Coarse, Fine, Acme, Left Hand, Lag, Metric, and special pitches to match precise project specifications. These anchor bolts come with options for plain, hot-dipped galvanized, zinc plated, or other special coatings to meet unique project needs. With the capability to expedite orders to accommodate concrete pouring schedules, we ensure not only quality but also timely delivery, supported by domestic certifications of melt and manufacture along with material test reports available upon request, underscoring the commitment to excellence of American manufacturing standards.

Anchor Bolt Types and Uses

Types:

Anchor bolts come in various types to cater to different structural needs and specifications:

• Bent Bolts: These anchor bolts can be customized to bend for any application. They they typically come in L, U, and J bends but are manufactured to specification of your project.
• Swedge Bolts: Swedge bolts come with pressed indentions above the threads to increase resistance from pulling out of the concreate. Commonly used in road construction.
• Wedge Anchors: Expansion bolts that widen as they are driven in, ideal for heavy-duty applications in solid concrete.
• Sleeve Anchors: Versatile bolts that expand inside the material for a tight fit, used in a variety of materials including concrete and brick.

Uses:

Anchor bolts are indispensable in numerous commercial projects, including:

• Securing skyscrapers and tall buildings to their foundations.
• Anchoring heavy machinery and equipment in industrial facilities.
• Fastening traffic signals and street lights to ensure public safety.
• Constructing bridges and overpasses, providing stability against environmental stresses.
