Anchor bolts are used to connect structural and non-structural elements to concrete.[2] The connection can be made by a variety of different components: anchor bolts (also named fasteners), steel plates, or stiffeners. Anchor bolts transfer different types of load: tension forces and shear forces.[3]
A connection between structural elements can be represented by steel columns attached to a reinforced concrete foundation.[4] A common case of a non-structural element attached to a structural one is the connection between a facade system and a reinforced concrete wall.[5]
