This paper presents some possibilities of increasing strength of anchor bolts using numerical and experimental methods of mechanics. Proposed and verified procedures allow determining the actual stress states during tightening the anchor bolts and nuts and reduce dynamic loads in bolts as well as in operating machines. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajme/1/7/50/ajme-1-7-50.pdf anchor boltsdynamic loadingnumerical and experimental methods of mechanics
