I am an engineer and I am calculating the strength of an anchor bolt for a job that I am designing. I want to use plastic sleeves on many of the anchor bolts on my project, but I don’t know how these sleeves affect the pull out strength of the anchor bolts. Is there any information on the subject?
Can plastic anchor sleeves be used with metric diameter anchor bolts or less-common diameters such as 1-1/8” or 1-3/8”?
My drawing is showing a plastic anchor sleeve that is much longer than the standard sizes that you show on your website. Is it possible to get a custom plastic sleeve that is made per my job’s requirements?
What size anchor bolt sleeve do I use to fit a 1-1/8” diameter anchor bolt?
What is the difference between the two types of anchor sleeves that Portland Bolt stocks?
