Sr. No.	Application Area	Fastener Types	Primary Functions	Materials Commonly Used	Key Performance & Regulatory Factors
1	Foundations & Concrete Structures	Anchor Bolts, Rebar Couplers, Expansion Anchors	Secure columns, beams, and footings Transfer load from superstructure to foundation	Carbon steel, galvanized steel	Must meet building codes (e.g., IBC, Eurocodes) Designed for tensile and shear loads Regularly tested for pull-out strength
2	Steel Framing & Structural Supports	High-Strength Bolts (Grade 8.8, 10.9, etc.), Structural Screws	Connect steel beams, girders, trusses Provide stability under tension, compression, and dynamic loads	High-tensile steel, zinc-coated or hot-dip galvanized	Fatigue resistance for seismic/wind loads Must comply with ASTM A325, A490, or equivalent Inspected for proper torque to prevent loosening
3	Roofing & Cladding	Self-Drilling Screws, Roofing Bolts, Rivets	Attach roofing sheets and panels Provide weather-tight seals against water and wind	Galvanized steel, stainless steel, sometimes with neoprene washers	Must withstand UV exposure, temperature changes Compliance with local wind load requirements (e.g., hurricane resistance) Sealed fasteners to prevent leaks
4	Precast Concrete & Tilt-Up Panels	Lifting Inserts, Anchor Bolts, Embedded Plates	Facilitate crane hoisting during installation Align and secure precast panels	High-strength steel, often hot-dip galvanized	Load-rated for heavy lifting Must comply with ACI standards Periodic inspections for corrosion and integrity
5	Bridges & Elevated Highways	Tension Bolts, Shear Studs, Heavy-Duty Nuts & Washers	Join bridge girders, decks, and expansion joints Resist dynamic traffic and environmental loads	Weathering steel, high-tensile steel, protective coatings	Must handle vibration and fatigue from traffic Subject to AASHTO or relevant bridge design codes Periodic NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) for safety
6	Tunnels & Underground Works	Rock Bolts, Anchor Systems, Resin Bolts	Stabilize tunnel walls and ceilings Counteract ground movement and rock pressure	Corrosion-resistant steel, epoxy-coated bars	Often require fire protection coatings Must withstand groundwater infiltration Geotechnical testing to ensure load-bearing capacity
7	Facade & Glazing Systems	Structural Glazing Bolts, Spider Fittings, Curtain Wall Anchors	Secure glass panels and facade elements Provide aesthetic, high-load bearing connections	Stainless steel (A2, A4 grades), aluminum brackets	Corrosion-resistant for long-term exposure Subject to wind load calculations Must meet safety glass and insulation standards
8	HVAC & Mechanical Installations	Threaded Rods, Pipe Clamps, Hanger Bolts	Support ductwork, piping, and mechanical equipment Allow height adjustment and secure mounting	Zinc-plated steel, stainless steel	Compliance with mechanical codes (e.g., IMC) Must handle vibration from equipment Insulation requirements for hot/cold lines
9	Electrical & Plumbing	Conduit Anchors, Cable Ties, Anchor Fasteners	Secure conduits, junction boxes, and plumbing fixtures Manage wiring and piping layouts efficiently	Zinc-plated steel, nylon ties, plastic anchors	Must meet NEC (National Electrical Code) or local equivalents Fire-resistant or UL-listed components where required Proper spacing to avoid pinch or strain
10	Road Barriers & Signage	Anchor Bolts, U-Bolts, Expansion Fasteners	Mount guardrails, crash barriers, and signage Endure continuous impact, weather, and traffic vibrations	Galvanized steel, weathering steel	Must conform to road safety standards (e.g., MASH, EN 1317) Designed to handle impact load Inspections and torque checks to ensure ongoing stability

Key Highlights for Construction & Infrastructure Fasteners

Regulatory Compliance: Must adhere to local and international building codes (e.g., IBC, Eurocodes) and specific ASTM, AASHTO, or ACI standards for materials and testing.
Load & Fatigue Resistance:Structures like bridges, high-rises, and tunnels face dynamic loads (wind, seismic, traffic) requiring high-tensile fasteners that endure long service life.
Corrosion Protection:Hot-dip galvanizing, zinc plating, or weathering steel can extend service life in harsh or outdoor conditions, reducing maintenance costs.
Fire & Safety Considerations:Underground and high-rise structures often need fire-resistant coatings and materials that maintain structural integrity during extreme events.
Ongoing Inspections & Maintenance:Torque checks, NDT methods, and visual inspections help detect wear, corrosion, or loosening—critical for preventing structural failures and ensuring public safety.

This table showcases how fasteners are integral to every phase of construction and infrastructure, ensuring stability, longevity, and compliance with stringent building standards.
