Hi all,
As the subject states, I am a fish out of water with the structural stuff.
I've got a steel plan from my SE that calls out anchor rod threads to be 'spiked' at both ends, and was wondering if someone could help explain what that actually means. I would assume it means to destroy the threads in such a way as to prevent the rod from backing out of the nuts, but didn't know if there was a certain method that is commonly used?
The application is for cradling & supporting a bearing beam that is to be cut for the installation of a new reactor. The 'cradle' is made of MC9, hung from W14 across the beam to be cut with 3/4" rod.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Stacy
