Frequently Asked Questions
See frequently asked questions below.
What anchor bolt size do I need for a typical steel column?
For a typical H-beam column (HEA 200-300) with base plate, M20 J-bolts (20mm diameter) set in 200×200mm base plates are standard for 2-3 story structures. For taller buildings or heavier loads, M24 or M30 bolts are used. Always have the structural engineer calculate based on actual loads and concrete compressive strength.
Can anchor bolts be installed in African blockwork (hollow concrete blocks)?
Standard expansion anchors do not work in hollow blocks — the expansion grip falls into the void. Use sleeve anchors designed for hollow masonry, or epoxy anchors with screen tubes (to fill the void) in solid grouted cells. For structural connections in blockwork, consider through-bolts where possible or special masonry anchor systems (Hilti Hul, Rawl-Spike).
How do I specify anchor bolts for coastal African environments?
For coastal environments, hot-dip galvanized F1554 Grade 55 or 105 is the minimum specification. For severe marine exposure (within 500m of the ocean), specify 316 stainless steel anchors or duplex stainless anchors. All exposed portions (above concrete) must be protected. Always specify stainless steel washers and nuts as well.
