Why use threaded rods in buildings?
1. Threaded rods are typically used in
construction to provide a lateral load-resisting
system. This is done by passing the threaded rod
through the drilled holes in the floor and
bolting it into the wall or other structural
members on both ends of the threaded rod. The
threaded rod serves as a guide for reinforcing
structural joints and providing support for
structures that have been damaged, such as shear
walls.
