This paper discusses the effects of rust and paint on the workability of retightening anchor bolts and turnbuckles through the element experiment. The findings obtained from the element experiments are summarized as follows: (1) Required torque to adjust the nuts of the anchor bolts as all the thread painted to the original position by retightening was higher than that as no thread painted. (2) The torque to satisfy the requirement for the axial force of the rusted anchor bolts was higher than that of the anchor bolts with the antirust paint.
