Wood Strong-Wall®
Anchorage Solutions
SWAB7/8 anchor bolts were developed
to provide anchorage solutions for
Wood Strong-Wall® shearwalls in accordance
with the provisions of ACI 318-05. This code
listed anchor bolt is easy to inspect; the head
is stamped with a “No Equal” symbol for
identification, bolt length and bolt diameter.
Available in four lengths, the SWAB⁷⁄₈ provides
a range of embedment options for seismic or
wind solutions in cracked or uncracked
concrete conditions.
