PAB Pre-Assembled Anchor Bolt
The PAB anchor bolt is a versatile new cast-in-place anchor bolt ideal for high-tension-load
applications. It features a plate washer at the embedded end sandwiched between two fixed
hex nuts and a head stamp for easy identification after the pour.
• Available in diameters from 1⁄2" to 1 1⁄4" in lengths from 12" to 36" (in 6" increments)
• Available in standard and high-strength steel
• Head stamp contains the No Equal sign, diameter designation and an “HS” on
high-strength rods
MATERIAL: Standard Steel – ASTM F1554 Grade 36, A36 or A307 – Fu = 58 ksi
High-Strength Steel (up to 1" dia.) – ASTM A449 – Fu = 120 ksi
High-Strength Steel (1 1⁄8" and 1 1⁄4" dia.) – ASTM A193 B7 or F1554 Grade 105 – Fu = 125 ksi
FINISH: None
The Simpson Strong-Tie® Anchor Designer Software™ analyzes and suggests
anchor solutions using the CSA A23.3 Annex D Limit States Design
methodology. It provides cracked and uncracked-concrete anchorage
solutions for numerous Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems® mechanical and
adhesive anchors as well as the PAB anchor. With its easy-to-use graphical user
interface, the software makes it easy for the Designer to identify anchorage
solutions without having to perform time-consuming calculations by hand.

How to specify
and order:
When calling out
PAB anchor bolts,
substitute the
desired length
for the “XX” in the
Root Model Number.
For a 5⁄8"x18"
anchor bolt, the
model number
would be PAB5-18
(or PAB5H-18 for
high strength).

Design values are calculated using a
full shear cone. Coverage on each
side of the bolt shall be a minimum
of C1 or reductions must be taken.
1. Factored resistances shown are in accordance
with CSA A23.3-14 Annex D using 20 MPa
concrete assuming cracked concrete and no
supplementary reinforcement (Category B).
2. PAB8H values shown in italics for seismic
applications require minimum 25 MPa concrete.
3. Foundation dimensions are for anchorage only.
Foundation design (size and reinforcement) is
the responsibility of the design professional.
4.Factored resistances for seismic IEFaSa(0.2) ≥ 0.35
applications assumes ductile yielding in the
attachment. See D.4.3.5.3 CSA A23.3-14 for
more information.
