SSWAB Anchor Bolts: 

SSWAB anchor bolts in 3/4" and 1" diameters offer flexibility to meet specific project demands. Inspection is easy; the head is stamped with a "No Equal" symbol for identification, bolt length, bolt diameter, and optional "HS" for High Strength if specified

Material: ASTM A36; High Strength (HS) ASTM A449

An additional nut for template installation is provided with each SSWAB. May also be used for SSW installation.

Patent Pending


top SSWHSR Extension Kit:  

SSWHSR allows for anchorage in tall stem wall applications where full embedment of an SSWAB into the footing is required. The head is stamped for identification like an SSWAB. Kit includes ASTM A-44 9 high strength rod with heavy hex nut fixed in place and high strength coupler nut. Do not use in place of SSWAB.

Anchorage Solutions General Notes

  1. Anchorage solutions based on high strength SSWAB anchor bolts.
  2. The Engineer of Record may specify alternate embedment, footing size or bolt grade.
  3. Footing dimensions and rebar requirements are for anchorage only.

FOR GARAGE WALL OPTION 2
Engineer of Record shall design for:
1. Shear transfer.
2. Out-of-plane loading effect
3. Increased overturning and drift due to additional height.
