AISCAmerican Institute of Steel Construction. AISEAssociation of Iron and Steel Engineers. AISIAmerican Iron and Steel Institute. Aluminum. A corrosion resistant metallic element. Aluminum alloy coated sheet is often used for metal roofing andwall panels. Aluminum Coated Steel. Steel coated with aluminum for corrosion resistance. Anchor Bolt Plan. C Program Compare Two Strings Using Strcmp'>C Program Compare Two Strings Using Strcmp. A plan view drawing showing the diameter, location and projection of all anchor rods for the components of the Metal Building System and may show column reactions magnitude and direction. The maximumbase plate dimensions may also be shown. Anchor Bolts. See Anchor Rods. Anchor Rods. The term anchor rod is used for threaded rods embedded in concrete to anchor structural steel. The term rod is intended to clearly indicate that these are threaded rods, not structural bolts, and should bedesigned as threaded parts using the material specified in the latest edition of AISC. The embedded endof the rod may be secured in the concrete by means of a head, threading with a nut on the end, a hook orother deformation, by welding to reinforcing steel or other means. Anodic. With regard to metal and galvanic response, when two metals are connected in an electrolyte, they willform a galvanic cell, with the higher metal in the galvanic series being the anode. The anodic metal, beingmore active oxidizes first, thus protecting the cathodic metal from corrosion see cathodic. ANSIAmerican National Standards Institute. Approval Drawings.
