Materials
Publication: Anchorage Design for Petrochemical and Other Industrial Facilities
Abstract
Post-installed anchors are manufactured using a variety of materials. Responsible engineers must therefore select the most appropriate materials for anchors and their environment, considering such properties as grade, yield strength, tensile strength, and weldability, and providing for corrosion resistance so that the anchorage will perform as required and intended. This chapter identifies basic materials, properties, and corrosion protection recommendations for anchor bolt and rod assemblies, headed studs, post-installed anchors, and shear lugs. Also examined are the main design concerns associated with exposure of anchors to extreme low temperatures: brittleness and failure that is premature or at a strength level that is less than its design load.
