What is the end anchor bolt for a deep long span joist referred to as?

  1. Chanel number

  2. Chord number

  3. Brace number

  4. Foundation number

The correct answer is: Chord number

The term that refers to the end anchor bolt for a deep long span joist is the chord number. In the context of structural engineering and construction, joists are often part of a truss system, where the 'chords' are the main horizontal members that run along the top and bottom of the truss. The chords provide structural integrity and help distribute loads effectively. The end anchor bolts serve as important connections that secure these members to the supporting elements, ensuring the stability and strength of the structure. Understanding this terminology is crucial for contractors when discussing specifications and details related to the framing and structural support of buildings.
