spacing of anchor bolts. Anchor bolts should be placed as specified, since the capacity of an anchor bolt will be reduced if its embedment depth is too small, or if it is placed too close for a free edge or to another anchor bolt. If bent-bar anchors must be used, contractors should remember that their capacity in tension depends on their pullout resistance. While coating bent-bar anchors with oil or other materials to prevent corrosion is admirable, it nevertheless reduces bond and the resulting pullout strength of the anchor. It is therefore critically important to clean dirt and oil from bent-bar anchors before they are placed in the masonry.

CONCLUDING REMARKS
Research clearly shows that headed anchors can have higher tensile capacity than bent-bar anchors, even though they cost about the same to purchase and install. To achieve better performance, the masonry industry should begin to use headed anchor bolts whenever possible.
