Welcome to the Engineers of Steel Anchor Bolt & Foundation Bolt Series — a hands-on learning playlist where Wangari and Mumbi explore how buildings and structures stay safely connected to the ground. In this playlist, we break down everything about anchor bolts, foundation bolts, J-bolts, base plates, setting templates, and casting methods. These are some of the most important components in civil engineering and structural design, and we explain them in clear, simple steps for young learners, parents, and beginners. What you’ll learn in this playlist: • What anchor bolts and foundation bolts are • Types: Straight bolts, L-bolts, J-bolts, sleeve anchor bolts • How anchor bolts transfer loads into concrete • Why alignment, accuracy, and spacing matter • How to create setting/casting templates using plywood or steel • How engineers check levels, plumb, spacing, and orientation • Real examples from workshops and construction sites • Safety tips when handling bolts, nuts, and washers • How to read simple anchor bolt drawings • Hands-on demonstrations and practice activities for young learners Why this series matters Every strong building begins with a strong foundation. Anchor bolts ensure that columns, beams, equipment, and steel structures stay stable, safe, and secure for many years. By learning this early, young engineers build confidence and practical skills in real-life construction basics. Perfect for: • Students learning engineering basics • Architecture & construction beginners • Parents teaching hands-on STEM • Technical training for youth programs • Anyone curious about how structures are anchored to concrete Join us as we explore these critical foundation elements — from sketch to structure — in a fun, practical, and easy-to-understand way. #AnchorBolts #FoundationBolts #JBolts #LBolts #SettingTemplates #CastingTemplates #BasePlates #ConcreteFoundation #SteelConstruction #structuralengineering
