Hooked anchors/L-bolts in AISC

This article is also available in:
It is possible to define the L-shaped / J-shaped or hooked anchor bolt when using the AISC code. For this type of anchor, the pullout resistance is checked.

In the design and check of footings, an AISC project can consider a hook type of anchor for the foundation concrete block.

The L-shaped anchors can be defined either in the base plate or in the fastener grid or contact operations.
