Correct option is B
A
bent foundation bolt is a type of bolt used to secure heavy machinery or structural components to concrete foundations. Its
"bent" shape (typically an "L" or "J" shape) helps anchor the bolt securely into the concrete, preventing it from being pulled out under tensile loads.
The shank of the bolt is bent into a specific shape (e.g.,
L-shaped,
J-shaped, or a custom bend). This bend increases the anchoring strength within the concrete.
These are
typically made of
mild steel,
high-tensile steel, or
stainless steel, depending on the application's load requirements and environmental conditions.
The top portion of the bolt is threaded to attach nuts and washers, which hold the machinery or structure securely.
Applications:
Commonly used in:
Machine foundations (e.g., lathes, turbines, compressors).
Steel structures (e.g., columns, towers, gantries).
Construction (e.g., bridges, pipelines).
