Headed concrete anchors, also known as concrete anchor studs, are large, unthreaded metal fasteners that have a flat, enlarged head on one end. Welded to steel using the drawn arc stud welding process, these weld studs can embed plates, structural steel members, slabs, and walls into concrete. The anchor end is cast inside poured or precast concrete while the head provides the mechanical interlock.Headed Concrete Anchor Stud Sizes
Choosing the right headed concrete anchor stud depends on the application and the required embedment. We stock headed concrete anchors in the following sizes:- 1/4” x 1-18”
- 1/4” x 2-11/16”
- 1/4” x 3-1/8”
- 1/4” x 4-1/8”
- 3/8” x 2-1/8”
- 3/8” x 2-11/16”

Headed Concrete Anchors vs. Shear Connectors
Headed concrete anchors and shear connectors share the same style, but they differ by diameter. For studs below 3/4” diameter, they are headed concrete anchors, while studs above 3/4” are typically categorized as shear connectors. Terminology can vary for these specific weld studs; sometimes they are wholly referred to as concrete anchors.Applications of Headed Concrete Anchor Studs
Typically used in construction, headed concrete anchors provide a reliable, non-slip, non-sliding mechanical fastening solution for steel-to-concrete anchoring applications. They are generally used for embedding:- Plates
- Wall connections
- Column/base plates
