Anchor Heads
(OP)
I'm a junior engineer, however through my calculations I found that the appendix D specifies pullout strength as the effective area of the bolt head times 8 times the compressive strength of the concrete. SO... then I noticed that square nuts provide more pullout strength than hex head nuts. Do you guys agree? And if you do, why aren't they typically used?

We use welded steel washer plates, which are square, just because they're easier to cut that way.
