PULL-OUT CAPACITY OF HOLDING DOWN BOLTS

TEDDS calculation version 1.0.01
These calculations assume that there is no coexistent shear in the holding-down bolts.

Tension capacity of bolts

; Maximum tension force per bolt; Ft = 60.0 kN
; Try M16 (Grade 8.8); bolts; Pt = 70.7 kN ; dnut = 13 mm
Check Ft  Pt ; Pass - Bolt tension capacity;

Pull-out resistance of concrete

;; Overall length of bolts; Lbolt = 350 mm
; Clear projection of bolt above nut; Lproj = 50 mm
;;; Thickness of washer, baseplate & grout; twas = 3 mm ; tp = 16 mm ; tgr = 20 mm
Depth of embedment; de = Lbolt - Lproj - dnut - twas - tp - tgr = 248 mm
From BCSA HDBolts document, effective conical surface area; for two bolts; Aec = 3821.4 cm2
Depth of embedment selected; de = 248 mm
Design spacing of bolts (c/c); Xccs = 150 mm
; Shear strength of concrete; vc = 0.34 N/mm2
Design pull-out resistance, per bolt; Ptc = Aec  vc / 2 = 65.0 kN
Check Ft  Ptc ; Pass - Concrete pull-out resistance
Bolts require adequate anchorage by suitably sized washer plates or equivalent under the bolt heads.
