    ACI 318 Appendix D Vcb

    The "out" that is addressed in App. D is the third paragraph of RD.4.2.1. ACI 318 App. D does allow you to neglect this failue mechanism. "For anchors exceeding the limitations of D.4.2.2., or for situations where geometric restrictions limit breakout capacity or both, reinforcment oriented...

    App. D. - Interaction with Vx AND Vy??

    I am a Madison, WI transplant living in Minneapolis so it's hard being a Packer fan up here. Thank god for Sunday Ticket on Direct TV.

    Pryout of anchor in shear - ACI 349 App. B

    The way this is calculated is not correct. The idea behind pryout is that very short stiff anchors simply will pop out a concrete cone in the opposite direction of the shear force, that is why Ncbg for tension is used for a shear calculation. As an example, if you have a 6 anchor base plate...

    App. D. - Interaction with Vx AND Vy??

    It is hidden in RD.6.2.1. You need to check the component in the x direction and the y direction and take the minimum of the two. Please see the attached file on page 38 and 39 for a description of this. http://www.yousendit.com/download/Y2o5SXR5OC9PSHcwTVE9PQ

    Base Plate Design- Simple Design

    Here is how we typically calculate the distribution to the anchors. You bascially itterate until the results converge. Hope this helps, you may also want to try the manufactures anchor software. They will typically do the load distribution for...

    Child-Friendly Column Base Connection

    you could use an internally threaded rod (made by several anchor companies) with adhesive anchors. Then put in whatever type of screw you would like.

    Lag Shield Anchors in common red brick

    I may work for a company that starts with "H" ends with "I" and has "ilt" in the middle, so for everyones info HY-50 is a product only sold overseas specifically designed for solid masonry, something we don't have as much in the US. HY 150/MAX/20 are very chemically similar. As long as a field...

    ACI-318-05 appendix D

    Biggest difference is that you will need specific design information from the anchor mfg. For instance, pull out for a post installed anchor cannot be calculated from ACI 318 App. D, you will need to pull the products ICC-ESR report for that information. Talk to your mfg engineer, I am sure...

    Tension capacity of Anchor bolts at Wood Frame Construction

    Based on ACI 318-05, a headed bolt would have a tensile capacity of 4,074 lbs (controled by pull-out) assuming 1 1/2" edge distance and cracked concrete non-seismic conditions. A "L" bolt would only have a capacity of 1,180 lbs (controled by pull-out) assuming the same thing. ACI doen't like...

    Adhesive

    Are you looking for the electrical resistance of the epoxy/adhesive? The adhesive I spoke of earlier has a resistance of 1.7 x 10^12 ohms/in (epoxy) and another is 5.1 x 10^11 ohms/in (hybrid adhesive). Maybe that gives you a good range to work with. I would assume that these resistances...

    Adhesive

    Epoxy anchoring material, not hybrid adhesives, like Hilti RE 500 has been used for this type of bonding before. Regardless of what is used, please read the following email from my super secret files... "Before being in the Chemical Anchor development I was part of the HAF team. Within the HAF...

    Pull-Through of Fasteners in Thin Sheet

    This is very close to what you have except it is for steel and the shank is a bit smaller. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2e0f7c87-9101-41ae-9055-09667dfa9477&file=2008H440p_39.pdf
