Welding Nut to Anchor Rod?
Welding Nut to Anchor Rod?
(OP)
Hi,
I have a situation where a contractor has cut off part of an anchor rod so that there is not enough thread length to attach the nut on top of the baseplate. The rod in question is F1554 GR. 36 steel.
I'm aware that sometimes people will weld nuts to the bolt/rod, has anyone here done a repair like this before or does anyone know if there is any actual standard anywhere that sets out guidelines for this kind of thing?

If you can't even get the nut engaged, the contractor has a big problem.

If the loads are not extreme, or if there are other rod anchors that can resist the applied loads, I've specified to weld the rod, all around, directly to the base plate.
Or drill another hole(s) through the baseplate and specify post-installed anchors.
