Cast-in-Place Fasteners

These are typically used to attach structural members to a concrete wall or slab or footing but can also be used for non-structural applications. The fastener or concrete is spotted prior to the concrete being poured. The concrete hardens and the bolt it in the proper place.

The advantage of the cast-in-place system is the enhanced anchorage properties available. Bolt(s) with the head embedded in fresh concrete can later be used as mounting points for non-structural items. However, as these are non-adjustable care should be taken in their location. Templates have proven useful in this regard.

Other types of cast-in-place fasteners include threaded rod, threaded inserts and bolted connections (either embedded or through).
