I have a 4’ by 4’ by 1’ footing to hold a power generator w=220lbs and stands 8ft of the ground. We need to bolt this unit down (hilt bolts) to the footing and I wanted to know if we use Fiver-Reinforce concrete would be better than typical concrete mixture. I’m concerned that the bolts might fail in pull out resistance? If we had a horizontal wind force of 400 lb, does anyone have any recommendations or tips? I’m not sure what the strengths are for Fiver-Reinforce concrete
