Concrete Anchor

I am in the process of building an 8x10 shed on an existing slab, and I am to the point where I need to anchor the walls to the slab. What is the best type of anchor to use in this application?

More than likely newer things out there now. We used to use what the old timers called Acme Johnson's. You drilled a certain size hole, drop the anchor in, set with given setting tool and screwed machine screw into it.
Use big washers and drill the plate a little bigger for ease of placing.

Red Head 1/2" sleeve anchors. You can drill right through the bottom plate and set them so you don't have to layout drill holes more than once.

I'm a contractor. Use the redheads, get them at Home Depot. They work well, do not use ramset nailer. Good shear ability, but will pull straight up out of slab. Most will also spall and just bust up concrete below plate (especially on older slabs that are mostly aggregate.)

1/2"x6" titen bolts. Don't buy them from Lowes or Home Depot go to a building material store. People at Lowes and Home Depot are morons.
