Sign and signal structures are often connected
;
to concrete foundations through an annular base
;
plate set on anchor bolts. The plate is leveled
;
with nuts beneath it and secured with nuts
;
above it — a “double-nut” connection. In many
;
installations, the anchoring bolts are exposed
;
between the concrete base and the leveling nuts,
;
increasing shear stress
;
on the anchor bolts,
;
potentially to failure.
;
Adding grout pads offers
;
more protection against
;
shear stress, but the
;
extent of protection is
;
unclear. Also, current
;
standards allow torsional
;
forces to be ignored for
;
certain configurations of
;
the connective structure
