TIE ROD

A tie rod is a structural component commonly used in construction and engineering applications to provide stability and structural integrity. It is typically a long, cylindrical bar made of steel or other high-strength materials.

Tie rods are used to resist tension forces and are often employed in structures like buildings, bridges, and other large-scale projects. They help counteract the forces that can cause structural instability or failure by transferring the tensile loads through the structure.

One end of the tie rod is usually threaded to allow for connection to other structural elements or anchor points. The other end may be threaded as well or designed for attachment using other fastening methods, such as welding or clamping.

Tie rods are commonly used in combination with other structural components like turnbuckles, nuts, and washers to adjust the tension and length of the assembly. This adjustability allows for fine-tuning the structure's integrity and accommodating various load conditions.
