What are "staked" bolt threads?

What are "staked" bolt threads?

What are "staked" bolt threads?

(OP)
In the 1983 AISC article "Design of Headed Anchor Bolts" by Shipp and Haninger, it states:  

"Where plain bars are used, the equivalent anchorage may be accomplished by threading the embedded end of the bar and using one heavy hex nut with bolt threads "staked" at two places below the heavy hex nut"

What does "staked" mean in the application?

RE: What are "staked" bolt threads?

I believe it means to permanently deform the threads so that the nut can not come off.

RE: What are "staked" bolt threads?

I agree.  I think a chisel is used to "foul" the threads.

RE: What are "staked" bolt threads?

Using a punch or chisel to upset the threads next to the nut to prevent the nut from moving.

RE: What are "staked" bolt threads?

Staked, Spiked, Defaced, Fouled, etc, etc, etc.... There doesn't seem to be any accepted term, and I doubt we can speculate whether the author meant to use a different word.  I do think we can infer that they intended that the thread be damaged beyond serviceable use.

pricklyPete,
This might help.

Staking- Staking is a method of fastening (usually sheet metal) by squeezing protrusion formed in one part inside a hole in the second part, and then deforming the protrusion. The act of deformation causes radial expansion of the inner part and locks it in the hole.


 

RE: What are "staked" bolt threads?

Oh wow... Could this perhaps apply specifically to those hollow bolts you see once in a blue moon?

Can anyone confirm Hogan's definition?

Hogan:  Where did you find that?

Cheers,
