Specifying torque requirements for anchor bolts in tension?
Specifying torque requirements for anchor bolts in tension?
(OP)
My question is regarding anchor bolts in tension and if there are any torque requirements for the end nut?
I have specified A572 Grade 50 anchor rods with A563 high strength nuts. I would assume snug tight to be acceptable in most circumstances, but due to the oscillating type application (100' tall flagpole) with the bolts being loaded variably from tension to compression, I thought this might have some special requirements I may not be aware of.
Any information would be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance!
