Anchor Bolt Detail Question
Anchor Bolt Detail Question
(OP)
Having always used hooked anchor bolts, I am wondering if it is appropriate to use straight shank bolts for larger diameter bolts, 2" for example, considering that it may be difficult to bend the rods?
I haven't designed the embedded lengths considering the hook in the past but added them as an added safety consideration.

Is the supplementary hardware necessary?

Most of the loads are generally shear.
I'm not convinced that having a mass of embedded horizontal steel (Ls) is not detrimental to the continuity of the pier,
so I guess a headed or nutted rod might be preferred to me.
I balk a little on the threaded base though because I am thinking of cutting oil not cleaned from the rod interfering with the bond.
