ANCHOR BOLT DESIGN (Design of Anchor Reinforcement)

Project : Seismic Type : Low Seismic Risk

Pedestal Mark : P1
Structure : Pipe Rack (Route-1)

1. Maximum Factored Loads

Condition Pu (kN) Tu (kN) Vu (kN)
Max Tension - -299.8 34.4
Max Shear with C -287.1 - 107.0
Max Shear with T - -287.1 107.0
where : Pu = Compression Force Vu = Shear Force
Tu = Tension Force
Condition / Assumptions :
1. Low seismic risk and ductile design is not required
2. Tension force is distributed equally among all anchors
3. Washers are welded to the base plate to transfer the load to the anchor. Therefore, it
is assumed that all anchors will resist the shear forces.
4. The tension and the shear forces in the anchors are transferred to the longitudinal
rebars and shear reinforcement, respectively, which will be designed as anchor
reinforcement. Therefore, the concrete breakout strength in tension and shear (D.5.2
and D.6.2) is not checked.
Note : All equations and code section numbers referred in this example are from ACI 318-11.

g Anchor Bolt Data :

(ccs)
(H)
Mark : M25
Diameter, da = 25.0 mm

Tensile Area, Ase = 390 mm

Bearing Area, Abrg = 967 mm
3. Design Parameters No. of Anchors, na = 4
f'c = 28 Mpa , cylindrical strength of concrete hef = 460 mm
futa = 413 Mpa , Tensile Strength of Anchor Bolt g= 110 mm
fy = 390 Mpa , Yield Strength of Anchor Reinforcement
4. Anchor Bolt Check (Strength of Anchor), D.5.1 & D.6.1
Steel Strength of Group of Anchor in Tension : T*Nsag = T * na * Ase * futa (D-2)
= 483.2 kN > 299.8 kN, OK!
T = 0.75 Tension Reduction Factor Ratio = 0.62

Steel Strength of Group of Anchor in Shear : V*Vsag = V * na * 0.8 * 0.6 * Ase * futa (D-29)
= 201.0 kN > 107.0 kN, OK!
V = 0.65 Shear Reduction Factor Ratio = 0.53

Check for Combined Tension and Shear Forces, D.7

Check Interaction Ratio : (Tu / T*Nsag) + (Vu / V*Vsag) < 1.20 (D-42)

299.8 kN 34.4 kN
Case + = 0.79 < 1.20 , OK!
483.2 kN 201.0 kN

287.1 kN 107.0 kN
Case + = 1.13 < 1.20 , OK!
483.2 kN 201.0 kN

5. Check the pull out resistance of anchor in tension (D.5.3)

Pull out resistance in Tension of Group of Anchor : p*Npn= p * na 8 c,p * 8 * Abrg * f'c (D-14)
= 866.4 kN > 299.8 kN, OK!
c,p = 1.0 (D.5.3.6) Ratio = 0.35
p = 1.00 Pull Out Reduction Factor

6. Check the side-face blowout resistance of anchor in tension (D.5.4)

Because of symmetry, only one side-face blowout resistance on one face of the pedestal needs to be
considered.
Tu/4 = 74.9 kN , factored tension force per one anchor bolt

Check if the corner effect (for the corner anchor) and close spacing (for the group of anchors) have to be
considered:
corner effect : ca2 < 3*ca1 ---> consider corner effect
corner effect factor = (1 + ca2 / ca1) /4 , - where 1.0 < ca2/ca1 < 3.0
= 0.50

0.50
sb*Nsb = sb * [13 * ca1* (Abrg) ] * a * f'c * [(1+ ca2/ca1) / 4] (D-16)
= 187.2 kN > 74.9 kN
Ratio = 0.40 a = 1.0 (D.5.3.6)
sb = 0.70 Side-face blowout Reduction Factor
close spacing effect : s1 < 6ca1---> Consider close spacing effect
close spacing factor = 1 + s1 / (6 * ca1)
= 1.20
sb*Nsbg = sb * Nsb * [1 + s1 / (6 * ca1)], for two anchors on one face of the pedestal (D-17)
= 224.6 kN > 149.9 kN
Ratio = 0.67
7. Transfer of Anchor Load to Vertical Re-bars

To be considered effective, pedestal main rebar shall be placed at a minimum distance of 0.50*hef
from anchor bolt.
checking : 0.50*hef = 230 mm > g, rebar is effective!
Pedestal Main Rebar Data :
diameter, db = d16

Area of One Rebar, Ar = 201 mm
No. of Effective Bars, n = 16
cct

cct = 50 mm
g= 110 mm
Ld' hef = 460 mm
L3 = 570 mm
Ld'= hef - cct - 0.68g
= 335 mm
Note : L3 is the straight bar
development length in tension
per sec. 12.2. Refer to drawing
no. 1TA-NC-XCSV2-0002 (3/6).

Tr = 0.75 Tension Reduction Factor

Tension Capacity of Anchor Reinforcement, Tur = Tr * n * Ar * fy* (Ld' / L3), Ld' / L3 < 1.0
= 553.2 kN > 299.8 kN, OK!
Ratio = 0.54
8. Design of Shear Reinforcement

Shear Reinforcement Data :

diameter, dtie = d12
Area of One Rebar, Arv = 113
No. of Effective Layers, n1 = 2
No. of Effective Legs Per Layer, n2 = 2

Vu Note : Typical shear reinforcement

design for columns assumes that the
(cct)
8*da shear reinforcement can be fully-
developed when closed ties are used.
Therefore, only closed ties are
1.5
1.0 assumed to be effective.
(ccs)
(H)

Shear Capacity of Anchor Reinforcement, Vur = Vr * n1 * n2 * Arv * fy

= 132.2 kN > 107.0 kN, OK!
Vr = 0.75 Shear Reduction Factor Ratio = 0.81
