What Anchor Bolts
Got a call today, major backfill mishap at a friends job, glad it was not my job. So heed this warning, do not backfill an old block foundation if the plates and box where just changed, and anchor bolts where not installed

They backfill freshly poured foundations (with no rebar I might add) here all the time. Pour at 4 PM, strip by 8AM, back fill by noon. I wonder how long dumb ass **** luck will last.

Re: What Anchor Bolts
It looks like the original pilaster (at far end) was well beyond the footing, & therefore not helping with tip resistance. The pinning to the new foundation should have gone through block wall, & backed up with large washers, or better yet a steel plate. A poured wall would have had a better shot at holding up, simply due to the added weight of wall.
