I am analyzing a deadman guy anchor for a telecommunications tower. The anchor has both significant uplift and lateral loads applied to it.
For the lateral resistance, I've seen many calculations that account only for the passive pressure on the front face of the anchor. Because of the uplift...
Section 3.3.3 of the AWWA D100-05 Standard states:
"Members subject to stresses produced by wind or seismic loads may be proportioned for unit stresses one-third greater than those specified in Sec. 3.2 and Sec 3.4..."
When looking at the combined stress Eq. 3-3 (fa/Fb + fb/Fb ≤ 1) for a...
