Foundation Bolts 14 years 3 months ago #34690

Does anybody know what year foundation bolts became code? I have searched but can find this info anywhere.

Thanks

Good find Marcel (Caveman), but what's the issue Preston, just curious. Did you find something w/o proper foundation anchors?
Plus, that's surprising Marcel. foundation anchors weren't required til '73?
Maybe it wasn't required for code/ specifications til then, but I assume foundation anchors were used before then and not enforced.
  Edit: Obviously they were used before then, so why does it matter when it was code?  Just asking?
  Marcel, when was it code in my state? :)

Not sure Joe, but the anchor bolt is been around for a long time.

Marcel, Interesting to see the rusted bolts in your link. Don't get to see that (or think about it) since it's hidden in the wall. Probably have some real issues on pre 1980 homes (non coated anchors).
