Anchor bolt into concrete slab
Anchor bolt into concrete slab
(OP)
Hi I am working on a project right now that requires a wooden nailer to be anchored around the roof perimeter of a building, however, I cant find any literature or specs on depth of the bolt into a concrete slab. The only information that I can find deals with anchoring into concrete masonry units (CMU) which requires an 8 inch bolt depth spaced at 4 feet spacing, but the concrete slab is much stronger and I only have a 5 to 6 inch thick slab so 8 inches would not work for my particular application. If anyone has a tip or where I could go to find the information I need, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

You need to get a structural engineer to evaluate this and help you.

And since the job's in Hawaii, *slides business card across table*. I can empathize. There's a lot of not-so-good engineers and architects out here. Really a shame given the hurricane and seismic risks.

Once you have those, it makes the job a whole lot easier.
