<p>What is the SESOC position on using chemical or mechanical anchors for major structures?</p>
<p>Richard Scary's draft paper says "<em>All anchor bolts should be cast into reinforced concrete foundations, except for minor structures</em>..."</p>
<p>I note that this is still a draft paper. </p>
<p>I have a client who, understandably due to cost and convenience, wants to use chemical or mechanical anchors to install a pipe rack.</p>
<p>I want to follow best practice. </p>
<p>is there any consensus on this issue?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help</p>
