Abstract

See full text

An anchor bolt connection in a framed building which includes a concrete foundation for supporting and anchoring a framed building against uplift forces and an anchor bolt for connecting the frame of the building to the concrete foundation. The anchor bolt is formed with an offset so that a substantial portion of the embedded portion of the anchor bolt is at an angle to the axis of the upper portion of the anchor bolt. In an optimum form of the invention, substantially all of the embedded portion of the anchor bolt is at an angle to the upper portion. In a preferred form of the anchor bolt connection, indicia marks are placed on the anchor bolt so that the rotational orientation of the anchor bolt can be inspected before, during and after the concrete is poured.
