anchor bolts

[robyengIT]

for "headed anchor bolts with welded plates" is there any standard/rule/good eng practice/etc for the design of the welded plate itself ? (that is diam, thickness, etc)

Thanks

I often just use a heavy hex headed nut... A plate of similar proportions will likely do the same... test results are generally for heavy hex head nuts.

yes, good engineering practice. Thanks Dik.
By chance I found this (Eurocode-Europe) according to EN 50341-1 (antenna structures)

Thanks for the sheet... often use heavy hex without the plate. It's been a couple of decades since I last spec'd a 'J' bolt...
