If you look at the bottom of the all thread you will notice the nut with a square washer at the bottom. This hopefully prevents the all thread from pulling out of the foundation after its poored.

Here's a pretty good picture of the two all threads inside of the building foundation forms.

Five Reasons Why You Should Inspect Your Concrete Building Foundation - If you live in a house with a concrete building foundation, you better read this article. I'm going to give you five reasons why you should inspect your concrete building foundation. Whether you listen and follow it is going to be completely up to you.

Checking the Building for Square - The most important thing when building a home is the ability to keep everything as square, plumb and level as possible. Starting with the foundation, if the foundation is not square or level, the rest of the house is going to be out of alignment.

Filling Large Foundation Cracks - Listen to Experience - If you have a foundation crack that you can stick a nickel into, you have a structural foundation problem. I haven't found any fillers or epoxies that will bring it back to its original strength. These items can only be used to fill the cracks up.

Understanding Structural Foundation Damage - If you live in a house that has large cracks in the walls or large cracks coming off of the corners of your doors and window openings, there's a good chance that your house is suffering from structural foundation damage. What does it look like and what can we do about it?

Using Digital Cameras to Monitor Foundation Damage - Let's see, most contractors use jack hammers, wheelbarrows, structural rebar and concrete to deal with foundation problems, but a digital camera. How can a digital camera help us fix our building foundations?
