Anchoring wood to the foundation – concrete structures are usually very strong but wood structures require additional support.It is usually attached to concrete foundations using anchor rods to avoid any movements.
Special anchor rods are used in areas that are prone to earthquakes and earth movements.Load transference – it helps in the uniform distribution of load to prevent collapse.This is because there is quite a lot of weight on the vertical and horizontal structures.
The anchor rods transfer the weight to the foundation of the building and not to the frame of the building. Tethering – mounting a structure that is not allowed to move will require the use of an anchor bolt. It requires the use of special anchor bolts with hooks that increase the stability of the mounting structure.
