ANCHOR BOLT DESIGN,
Considerable confusion exists abou the cortect procedure forthe design of anchor bolts
& their embedment Historically the procedure was to design the anchor bok net area for tension
uplift and horizontal shear based on the AISC egustions for 307 bolts -And then the procedure
was to design the dept of embedment for “bond sess devolpement length "based on the ACI
code & provide w hook ar ther postive anchorage device atte boo ofthis length. This
procedure was safe because it mimicked the pth required by to dis accepted minimum anchor
dept based on pullout shear cones.
‘Currently the acepted procedure for the design of anchor bolts isto design them as
pullout shear cone , anchored at their base by heads or embedded nuts. At Penta anchor
bots shouldbe set dcep enough so tha pullout is not Ukely to wceur. On larger foundations
‘we often set the anchor tthe btm ofthe footing, then by inspection pullout wil not occur
‘On highly stressed anchor groups often prefer to detail anchor bolt otha when
possible the threads start above the BOTTOM ofthe base plate. This approach is optional , but
allows the sear load tobe transferred tothe anchor bolts across gross, nt net, area
“Many engineers also design the anchor bots for local bending between ie bottom ofthe
baseplate & the top ofthe coneree pier have never followed this procedre.
‘Ofte when shear loads ae large, shear keys wil BeevoTVeapelow the bottom ofthe
‘baseplate sticking int the footing to transfer shear into the concrete without going thru the
anchor bolts. Since inspection is impossible for these key, they. must be used cautiously with
high factors of safety and with a provision fr sic eli holes in the base plate. This i because
no one can gurantee that such keys are aleeys POSITIVELY grouied sli into the footing, bat
siereliet holes coupled with govt pumping bel.
Please note that fixed base pate details cannot be created with baseplate welded tothe
Column shat. The base asembly mst sllow the anchor aflease2 inches of STRETCH
LENGTH beren the tp ofthe concrete & the anchor bolt nit before an base plate -anchor
bolt pttem ean be considered “fixed”
Please note anchor bolts ae also used to align columns for erection & alignment. To
serve this fiction they are preferably sc in a square prtern this square pattem also allows the
bolts to mss bracing gussets on the column CENTERLINES. A square anchor bot pattem
requires the columns be W10 minimum. One of the most common mistakes made on stactres
{sto mismatch anchor bolt pattems between foundations superstars, square pattems
avoid this mistake. [am nt saying all columns must be 10 inches dep , but please chek anchor
bolt patterns closely when pattems ae not square. Ona lage past jb , for many reasons, out of
1800 anchor bot ses, al sets required field adjustment. Do your best o reduce these fil
problems
Please note: on expansion anchors the capacity of the anchor in tensions zero unless the
hoe is lean of dust & debris, Tratonally he factor of safety on such anchors i 4.
Traditionally he center to center distance & embedment depth of such anchors es 12 times the
holt diameter, dan edge distance of 6 ines the bolt diameter tothe fee edge o the cone
However when you use a vendor catalogue the numbers are usualy reduced. Contractors usually
