Hi All

Regarding erection of one column(Dia=3700mm, overal length=35150mm) at site,I found a problem that the bolt extention beyond the nut(thread part)is not sufficient to consider another nut(luck nut).Contractor made 2 comments:first,using spot welding between nut and top plate(anchor chair),and the second, using another nut beneath top plate.
Its my pleasure to recieve your comments about these 2 mentioned items.

Thanks in advance

RE: anchor bolt+luck nut

How about using a "bent tab lock washer" - sheet metal bent up agains nut flat & down against plate edge?

Dear arto

do you have any experience about using "bent tab lock washer" at site?because I dont.may i have your idea about two comments mentioned by me?

Thanks a lot

RE: anchor bolt+luck nut

Isn't a double nut on anchor bolt, especially for a stack also used to effectively make the nut longer to prevent stripping of the nut. Supposedly thread deformation will let more area come into play.

Dear friends

Just i wanna know that have you ever heard about using second nut beneath the top plate of anchor chair for extension of contact surface of thread part?

Thanks in advance

I am having difficulty visualizing this.  If you don't have sufficient bolt length to put a second nut at the end then how will adding a second bolt under the top plate work?  It seems you would then not have enough thread engagement for the final nut?

What I understand is:
NOW[right]

bolt head
top plate
column (through which bolt goes)?
bottom plate?
nut
lock nut if there was sufficient thread

RE: anchor bolt+luck nut

I've never seen a double nutted anchor chair. First off it would be hard to retro-fit the bottom nut on an existing piece of equipment(below the chair plate). Secondly it would probably be extremely hard to get a wrench in to tighten the bottom nut.
 I would suggest using a "bellville" washer. It's a "cone type" lock washer, semi-pricey too! Check the link below, my $0.02! ...Good Luck!
