anchor bolt

Foundation securing hardware

An anchor bolt is a fastener embedded in concrete or masonry to secure structural elements.

One end is cast into the foundation while the threaded end protrudes, allowing nuts to attach columns, beams, or machinery: The anchor bolts held the steel frame to the concrete slab.

Also called a foundation bolt.
