PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these
technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and
engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While
this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users,
individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take
precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and
particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering
situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials. The
use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of
preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the
same specifications are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All
Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and
regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines
should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or
regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or
acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.
This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

Materials
4.1
Anchors
Refer to the ASCE Anchor Bolt Report, chapter 2, for a description of and
specifications for common materials for anchors. Unless a special corrosive
environment exists, the following should be specified:
a. For low- to moderate-strength requirements: ASTM A307 headed bolts,
ASTM A36 rods, or ASTM F1554 grade 36 rods
b. For higher strength requirements: ASTM A193 grade B7, ASTM F1554
grade 55 or grade 105, or ASTM A354 grade BC or grade BD
The following table provides properties for the recommended anchor materials.
Suitable nuts by grade may be obtained from ASTM A563. If ASTM F1554
grade 55 rods are specified, add the weldability supplement.

Bolts made from ASTM F1554 grade 105, ASTM A193 grade B7, and
ASTM A354 materials should not be welded as part of the bolt fabrication
process. Therefore, tack welding of anchor nut as shown in Figure A, Type 2,
should be avoided for these bolt materials. Alternatively, two anchor nuts
Page 8 of 24
October 2006
PIP STE05121
jammed together or a plate jammed between two nuts could be provided in place
of the tack-welded nut.
4.2
Sleeves
Anchors should be installed with sleeves when small movement of the bolt is
desired after the bolt is set in concrete. The two most common examples follow:
a. When precise alignment of anchors is required during installation of
structural columns or equipment. In this situation, the sleeve should be
filled with grout after installation is complete. Use of sleeves for alignment
of large diameter bolts should be discussed in contructability reviews to
determine if they provide construction advantages (large bolts do not bend
easily). Use of templates may be a better approach to address tolerance
issues for some equipment.
b. When anchors will be pretensioned to maintain the bolt under continuous
tensile stresses during load reversal. Pretensioning requires the bolt surface
to be free; therefore, the top of these sleeves should be sealed or the sleeve
should be filled with elastomeric material to prevent grout or water from
filling the sleeve.
Two types of sleeves are commonly used with anchors. A partial sleeve is
primarily used for alignment requirements, whereas the full sleeve is used for
alignment as well as for pretensioning. Sleeves do not affect the design of a
headed anchor for tensile loading because the tension in the anchor is transferred
to the concrete through the head, not the anchorconcrete bond. Sleeved anchors
can resist shear forces only when the sleeve is filled with grout.
Refer to PIP REIE686 for use of sleeves with anchor bolts in machinery
foundations.
For concrete cover requirements, refer to section 5.6.4 of this Practice.
4.3.
Washers
Washers are required for all anchor bolts. Hardened washers conforming to
ASTM F436 are required if the anchors are to be pretensioned (refer to
section 10) and are preferred for snug-tight anchors. In special cases if the design
calls for washers to be welded to the base plate, plain washers or steel plates may
be necessary to produce a good weld. In such cases, the hole in the washer
should be equal to the bolt diameter plus 1/16 inch. The following table shows
the PIP-recommended base plate hole diameters.

* Base plate hole size recommendations are based on

AISC ASD Manual, ninth edition, adjusted such that

Hole size recommendations in the current AISC LRFD
Manual, third edition, have been revised and are larger.
4.4
Corrosion
Corrosion of an anchor can seriously affect the strength and design life of the
anchor. When deciding which anchor material to use or what precaution to take
against corrosion, consider the following:
a. Is the anchor encased in concrete or exposed to the elements?
b. What elements will the anchor contact?
Chemical compounds
Saltwater
Ground water
Caustic gases
c. What limitations are present, affecting anchor size, length, and material,
fabrication options, availability, and cost?
Galvanizing is a common option for ASTM A307 bolts and for ASTM A36 and
ASTM F1554 grade 36 threaded rods. ASTM F1554 grades 55 and 105,
ASTM A193 grade B7, ASTM A354 grades BC and BD, and ASTM A449 bolts
may also be galvanized if appropriate safeguards are in place. Where loss of
ductility is an issue, ASTM A143 provides guidance concerning safeguarding hotdip galvanized steel against embrittlement. Stainless steel anchors are a costly
Page 10 of 24
October 2006
PIP STE05121
option but may be required in some environments. Painting or coating the anchor
will protect the anchor, but more maintenance may be required.
To reduce the amount of contact with corrosive substances, pier design and
anchor arrangement should consider water collection and anchor environment.
If the engineer determines that prolonged contact with a corrosive substance is
unavoidable, a metallurgist should be consulted to determine alternate anchor
materials or protective options.
5.
Strength Design
Strength design, which utilizes factored loads, shall be in accordance with Appendix D
of ACI 318-05. In this Practice, strength design will apply to headed bolts and headed
stud anchors, solidly cast in concrete. In accordance with ASCE 7-2002,
section A.9.9.1.7, the exclusion for bolts more than 2 inches in diameter or embedded
more than 25 inches (shown in ACI 318-05, D.2.2) may be ignored; however only
equation D-7 (not equation D-8) shall be used for checking the breakout strength in
cracked concrete.
ACI 318-05, D.6.2.7, states that for anchors located in a region of a concrete member
where analysis indicates no cracking at service loads, the modification factor, c,V, shall
be equal to 1.4. The tops of pedestals are normally outside cracked regions; therefore
c,V should be 1.4 for most pedestals. For anchors at beams and slabs, follow the
guidelines of ACI 318-05, section D.6.2.7.
5.1
Loading
Anchors shall be designed for the factored load combinations in accordance with
ACI 318-05, section 9.2 or Appendix C. Care shall be taken to assure that the
proper strength reduction factor for reinforcing, , is used. That is, if the load
combinations in section 9.2 are used, then use the s from section 9.3; if the
load combinations from Appendix C are used, then use the s from Appendix C.
Strength reduction factor, , for anchors is shown in ACI 318-05 Appendix D.
5.2
Anchor Bolt Design Spreadsheet (Available to PIP Members Only)

The Anchor Bolt Design Spreadsheet has been developed utilizing Appendix D
of ACI 318-05 and this Practice. (The spreadsheet, which is available to PIP
Member Companies only, not to PIP Subscribers, can be accessed via
http://www.pip.org/members/irc/index.asp under Implementation Resource
Center - Tools.) The spreadsheet gives shear and tensile capacities of an
anchor or anchor group and the concrete around it. The spreadsheet also lets the
user know whether or not the anchor configuration is ductile (refer to section 6,
this Practice). The user needs to use the spreadsheet in combination with
Appendix D of ACI 318-05 and this Practice. The spreadsheet merely saves the
user time in laborious calculations but is no substitute for the engineers
knowledge and expertise. See Appendix Example 1 (this Practice) for an
illustration of the use of the Anchor Bolt Design Spreadsheet.

Anchor Design Considerations

To accommodate reasonable misalignment in setting the anchor bolts, base
plates are usually provided with oversized holes. If the factored shear loads
exceed the values that can be resisted by friction between the base plate and the
grout (see sections 8 and 9), a suitable means must be provided to transfer the
shear from the base plate to the foundation. This can be accomplished by the
following:
a. Either shear lugs are used, or
b. A mechanism to transfer load from the base plate to the bolt without
slippage is incorporated (such as welding washers in place). If washers are
to be welded in place, plain washers or steel plate (rather than hardened
washers) must be specified to ensure that a good weld can be produced.
Galvanized or painted surfaces must be prepared appropriately before
welding. Welded elements may need to be painted or the galvanizing may
need to be repaired.
If no tensile force is applied to the anchors, the anchors need not be designed for
tension. Where the tensile force is adequately transferred to properly designed
rebar, there is no requirement to check for concrete breakout strength of the
anchor or anchors in tension (Ncb or Ncbg). Refer to section 7.3.
5.4
Shear Strength of Anchors in a Rectangular Pattern

In accordance with ACI 318, the concrete design shear strength of a group of
anchors in a rectangular pattern shall be taken as the greater of the following:
a. The design strength of the row of anchors closest to the edge perpendicular
to the direction of force on the anchors
b. The design strength of the row of anchors furthest from the edge if the
anchors are welded to the attachment so as to distribute the force to all
anchors. See also section 5.3 b.
c. Although not specifically accepted in ACI 318, the design strength of the
furthest row, if closed shear ties or other mechanisms transfer the load to
the row of anchors furthest from the edge. Refer to Figure D-2.
5.5
Shear Strength of Anchors in a Circular Pattern

Anchor bolts for tall, vertical vessels are frequently not required to resist shear.
The shear is resisted by friction created by the large compressive forces
attributable to overturning. However anchor bolts for shorter horizontal vessels
may be required to resist shear. Following are two alternative methods for
designing the anchors to resist shear:
Page 12 of 24
5.5.1
The design shear strength of an anchor group in a circular pattern can be

determined by multiplying the strength of the weakest anchor by the
total number of anchors in the circle. Refer to Figure B-1.
5.5.2
Alternatively, where closed shear ties or other mechanisms transfer the

load from the weak to the strong anchors, the design shear strength of an
October 2006
PIP STE05121
anchor group in a circular pattern can be determined by calculating the

shear capacity of the strong anchors. Refer to Figure B-2.
5.6
Minimum Dimensions
Minimum edge distance and anchor spacing shall be in accordance with ACI 318
and should be in accordance with ASCE recommendations. Minimum
embedment should be in accordance with the recommendations of the ASCE
Anchor Bolt Report. Refer to Table 1 and Figure A of this Practice. (If
supplementary reinforcement is added to control splitting or the anchor size is
larger than required to resist the load, then ACI 318 allows the following edge
distances and anchor spacing to be reduced. Refer to ACI 318-05, section D.8.
5.6.1
Edge Distance
a. ACI 318 requires cast-in headed anchors that will be torqued to
have minimum edge distances of 6do. Otherwise, the only
requirement for edge distance is that at least the same cover be
present as required for (1) reinforcement cover (normally 2 inches)
and (2) to prevent side-face blowout or concrete shear failure.
b. For constructability reasons, the ASCE Anchor Bolt Report
recommends a minimum edge distance of 4do but not less than
4.5 inches for ASTM A307 or ASTM A36 bolts or their equivalent
and 6do but not less than 4.5 inches for high-strength bolts.
c. According to PIP REIE686, the recommended edge distance for
anchor bolts in machinery foundations is 4do, 6 inches minimum.
5.6.2
Embedment Depth
No minimum embedment depth is specified in ACI 318 as long as the
effective embedment depth is enough to resist uplift forces. If ductility is
required, greater embedment may be necessary. The ASCE Anchor Bolt
Report recommends a minimum embedment depth of 12 diameters.
hef = 12do
5.6.3
Spacing between Anchors

ACI 318 requires the minimum spacing between anchors to be at least
4do for untorqued cast-in anchors and 6do for torqued anchors.
5.6.4
Modification for Sleeves

Where anchor sleeves are used, the preceding minimum dimensions
should be modified as follows:
a. Edge distance should be increased by an amount equal to half the
sleeve diameter minus half the anchor diameter, 0.5(ds do).
b. Embedment length for anchors equal to or greater than 1 inch
should not be less than the larger of 12 anchor diameters (12do) or
the sleeve length plus 6 anchor diameters (sleeve length + 6do).
For anchors less than 1 inch in diameter, the embedment length
should not be less than the sleeve length plus 6 inches.

c. Spacing between anchors should be increased by an amount equal

to the difference between the sleeve diameter and the anchor
diameter: s 4do + (ds do) for A307/A36 anchors or their
equivalent.
5.6.5
Modification for Anchor Bottom Plate

If a plate is used at the bottom of the anchor, similar to that shown in
Figure G, the edge distance should be increased by half of the plate
width or diameter minus 1/2 Wh, and the spacing should be increased by
the plate width or diameter minus Wh.
5.6.6
Anchor Projection
Anchor bolts should project a minimum of two threads above the fully
engaged nut(s).
6.
Ductile Design
6.1
Ductile Design Philosophy

A ductile anchorage design can be defined as one in which the yielding of the
anchor (or the reinforcement or the attachment to which the anchor attaches)
controls the failure of the anchorage system. This will result in large deflections,
in redistribution of loads, and in absorption of energy before any sudden loss of
capacity of the system resulting from a brittle failure of the concrete (ASCE
Anchor Bolt Report).
Anchors embedded in concrete and pulled to failure fail either by pullout of the
concrete cone or by tensile failure of the anchor itself. The former is a brittle
failure and the latter is a ductile failure. A brittle failure occurs suddenly and
without warning, possibly causing catastrophic tragedies. In contrast, a ductile
failure will cause the steel to yield, elongate gradually, and absorb a significant
amount of energy, often preventing structures from collapsing. Consequently,
when the design of a structure is based upon ductility or energy absorption, one
of the following mechanisms for ductility shall be used.
6.1.1
Anchors shall be designed to be governed by tensile or shear strength of

the steel, and the steel shall be a ductile material (refer to section 4.1,
this Practice).
6.1.2
In lieu of the guideline in section 6.1.1, the attachment connected by the

anchor to the structure shall be designed so that the attachment will
undergo ductile yielding at a load level no greater than 75 percent of the
minimum anchor design strength.
This ductile design philosophy is consistent with that of ACI 318.

6.2
Critical Areas Requiring Ductile Design

Anchors designed to resist critical loads, where magnitudes cannot be precisely
quantified (e.g., where design is based upon energy absorption), shall be
designed using the requirements for ductile design. Examples are anchors in
Page 14 of 24
October 2006
PIP STE05121
areas of intermediate or high seismicity and anchors used for blast load
resistance.
6.3
Requirements for Ductile Design

If the mechanism described in section 6.1.1 is used, the ductile design is
achieved when the anchoring capacity of the concrete is greater than that of the
anchor in tension, in shear, or in a combination of both. This is a strength
requirement and is independent of the magnitudes of the applied loads. If it can
be shown that failure that is due to tensile loads will occur before failure that is
due to shear loads, then the anchor need only be ductile for tensile loads. (The
reverse would also be true but would not normally be applicable to design.)
The first step is to select the anchor size considering only the steel failure modes,
that is by using 0.75Nsa and 0.75Vsa. In addition, make sure that the steel
chosen is ductile steel as listed in section 4.1. The engineer will need to do the
following calculations manually, using Appendix D of ACI 318-05.
Comment: For PIP Member Companies, the loads and size can then be
entered into the Anchor Bolt Design Spreadsheet, described in
section 5.2, to check the second and third steps (next two
paragraphs).
The second step is to ensure that the concrete pullout capacities (concrete
breakout strength in tension, pullout strength of anchor in tension, and concrete
side-face blowout strength) are greater than the tensile steel capacity of the
anchor:
Ncb or Ncbg > Nsa, Npn > Nsa, and Nsb or Nsbg > Nsa
The third step is to ensure that the concrete shear capacities (concrete breakout
strength in shear and concrete pryout strength in shear) are greater than the steel
shear capacity of the anchor:
Vcb or Vcbg > Vsa and Vcp > Vsa
In lieu of the preceding requirements, the attachment to the structure that is
connected by the anchor to the foundation may be designed so that the
attachment will undergo ductile yielding at a load level no greater than
75 percent of the minimum anchor design strength.
6.4
Means to Achieve Ductile Design

If conditions as specified in section 6.3 cannot be met, the concrete capacity can
be increased to achieve a ductile design using the following:
6.4.1
Increased Concrete Tensile Capacity

Concrete tensile capacity can be increased by the following:
a. Increasing concrete strength
b. Increasing embedment depth
c. Increasing edge distance (for near edge cases)
Page 15 of 24
PIP STE05121
October 2006
d. Increasing anchor spacing (for closely spaced anchor group)

In situations for which space is limited, such as anchors embedded in
pedestals, the preceding methods may not be practical. For these cases,
reinforcing bars can be placed close to the anchor to transfer the load.
Refer to section 7.3.
6.4.2
Increased Concrete Shear Capacity

Concrete shear capacity can be increased by the following:
a. Increasing concrete strength
b. Increasing edge distance (for near edge cases)
c. Increasing anchor spacing (for closely spaced anchor group)
If the preceding methods are impractical because of space limitations,
reinforcing hairpins looped around the anchors can be designed to carry
the entire shear. If this method is used, do not consider any contribution
from concrete shear strength. Refer to section 7.4.
Another alternative is the use of a shear lug. Refer to section 9. If this
alternative is chosen, either the following item a or item b must be
adhered:
a. The shear lug needs to be designed to undergo ductile yielding
before failure of the concrete.
b. The attachment that the shear lug connects to must undergo ductile
yielding at a load level no greater that 75 percent of the minimum
shear lug design strength.
7.
Reinforcing Design
7.1
General
When anchor embedment or edge distances are not sufficient to prevent concrete
failure that is due to factored loads, or for a ductile type connection, if Ncb or
Ncbg < Nsa or Vcb or Vcbg < Vsa, then reinforcing steel may be used to
prevent concrete failure.
The reinforcing needed to develop the required anchor strength shall be designed
in accordance with ACI 318 and the following.
7.2
Failure Surface
Reinforcement shall be fully developed for the required load on both sides of the
failure surfaces resulting from tensile or shear forces. Development lengths and
reinforcement covers shall be in accordance with ACI 318.
7.2.1
The failure surface resulting from the applied tension load shall be one
of the following:
a. For a single bolt, the failure surface is that of a pyramid, with the
depth equal to the embedded depth of the anchor (hef) and the base
Page 16 of 24
October 2006
PIP STE05121
being a square with each side equal to three times the embedded
depth (3hef). (Refer to Figure RD.5.2.1(a) of ACI 318-05.)
b. For a group of bolts where the bolts are closer together than 3hef,
the failure surface is that of a truncated pyramid. This pyramid is
formed by a line radiating at a 1.5-to-1 slope from the bearing edge
of the anchor group, edge of nuts, toward the surface from which
the anchors protrude. (Refer to Figure RD.5.2.1(b) of ACI 318-05.)
7.2.2
7.3
The failure surface resulting from the applied shear load is defined as a
half pyramid radiating at a 1.5-to-1 slope in all directions, originating at
the top of the concrete where the anchor protrudes and ending at the free
surface in the direction of the shear. (Refer to Figure RD.6.2.1(a) of
ACI 318-05.) For multiple anchors closer together than three times the
edge distance, ca1, the failure surface is from the outermost anchors.
(Refer to Figure RD.6.2.1(b) of ACI 318-05.)
Reinforcing Design to Transfer Tensile Forces

(Refer to Figures C-1 and C-2 and Tables 2 and 3.)
7.3.1
The required area of reinforcing bars, Arb, per anchor is as follows:

Arb = Nsa /fy
Obtain hef, the embedment depth of the anchor as follows: (Refer to
Figure C-1.)
hef = ld + C + (X + db/2)/1.5
a. Calculate ld, the development length of the reinforcing bars
resisting the load, using ACI 318. Note that the number of bars can
be increased and the size of the reinforcing bars can be decreased to
reduce the development length when required.
b. Add C, the concrete cover over the top of reinforcing bars to the
finished surface.
c. Add X, the clear distance from the anchor nut to the reinforcing
bars.
d. Add db/2, half the diameter of the reinforcing bars.
Note that the reinforcing bars were probably sized during pedestal
design. If more reinforcement is required by the pedestal design than
required by the anchor load transfer, the reinforcing bar development
length may be reduced by multiplying by the ratio of the reinforcing bar
area required to the reinforcing bar area provided:
ld required = ld x [(Arb) required / (Arb) provided]
This reduction is in accordance with ACI 318-05, section 12.2.5, and
cannot be applied in areas of moderate or high seismic risk.
7.3.2
Direct tensile loads can be transferred effectively by the use of hairpin

reinforcement or vertical dowels according to the following guidelines:
Page 17 of 24
PIP STE05121
October 2006
a. Hairpin legs and vertical dowels shall be located within hef/3

from the edge of the anchor head.
b. Hairpin legs and dowels shall extend a minimum of ld, beyond
the potential failure plane, or additional rebar area shall be
provided to reduce the required embedment length (see
section 7.3.1).
c. Where tension reinforcement is designed, it should be designed to
carry the entire tension force, excluding any contribution from the
concrete.
d. For an example design calculation using hairpins, see Appendix
Example 2 (this Practice).
7.4
Reinforcing to Transfer Shear Forces

7.4.1
Several shear reinforcement configurations or assemblies can be

considered effective to prevent failure of the concrete. Depending on the
particular situation, one of the following types of shear reinforcement
can be used:
a. Hairpins wrapped around the anchors (Figure D-1)
b. Closed ties transferring load to the stronger anchors (Figure D-2)
c. Anchored reinforcing intercepting the failure plane (Figure D-3)
d. Shear angles welded to anchors (Figure D-4)
e. Strut-and-tie model (Refer to Appendix A of ACI 318-05 and
Figure D-5 of this Practice.)
8.
7.4.2
Shear reinforcing shall extend a minimum of ld, beyond the potential

failure plane. Where excess rebar is provided, ld, may be reduced by the
ratio of the reinforcing bar area required divided by the reinforcing bar
area provided. See section 7.3.1.
7.4.3
Where shear reinforcing is designed, it should be designed to carry the

entire shear load, excluding any contribution from the concrete.
7.4.4
For pedestals, a minimum of two No. 4 ties or three No. 3 ties is required
within 6 inches of the top of concrete of each pedestal. Refer to Figure
E. Use of three ties is recommended near the top of each pedestal if
shear lugs are used or if the pedestals are located in areas of moderate or
high seismic risk.
Frictional Resistance
8.1
General
Where allowed by code, anchors need not be designed for shear if it can be
shown that the factored shear loads are transmitted through friction developed
between the bottom of the base plate and the top of the concrete foundation. If
there is moment on a base plate, the moment may produce a downward load that
Page 18 of 24
October 2006
PIP STE05121
will develop friction even when the column or vertical vessel is in uplift. This
downward load can be considered in calculating frictional resistance. Care shall
be taken to assure that the downward load that produces frictional resistance
occurs simultaneously with the shear load. In resisting horizontal loads, the
friction resistance attributable to downward force from overturning moment may
be used.
The frictional resistance can also be used in combination with shear lugs to resist
the factored shear load. The frictional resistance should not be used in
combination with the shear resistance of anchors unless a mechanism exists to
keep the base plate from slipping before the anchors can resist the load (such as
welding the washer to the base plate).
Note:
8.2
If the design requires welding the washer to the base plate, plain
washers or steel plate (rather than hardened washers) must be
specified to ensure that a good weld can be produced.
Calculating Resisting Friction Force

The resisting friction force, Vf, may be computed as follows:
Vf = P
P
= normal compression force
= coefficient of friction
The materials used and the embedment depth of the base plate determine the
value of the coefficient of friction. (Refer to Figure F for a pictorial
representation.)
a. = 0.90 for concrete placed against as-rolled steel with the contact plane a
full plate thickness below the concrete surface.
b. = 0.70 for concrete or grout placed against as-rolled steel with the
contact plate coincidental with the concrete surface.
c. = 0.55 for grouted conditions with the contact plane between grout and
as-rolled steel above the concrete surface.
9.
Shear Lug Design

Normally, friction and the shear capacity of the anchors used in a foundation adequately
resist column base shear forces. In some cases, however, the engineer may find the shear
force too great and may be required to transfer the excess shear force to the foundation
by another means. If the total factored shear loads are transmitted through shear lugs or
friction, the anchor bolts need not be designed for shear.
A shear lug (a plate or pipe stub section, welded perpendicularly to the bottom of the
base plate) allows for complete transfer of the force through the shear lug, thus taking the
shear load off of the anchors. The bearing on the shear lug is applied only on the portion
of the lug adjacent to the concrete. Therefore, the engineer should disregard the portion
of the lug immersed in the top layer of grout and uniformly distribute the bearing load
through the remaining height.
Page 19 of 24
PIP STE05121
October 2006
The shear lug should be designed for the applied shear portion not resisted by friction
between the base plate and concrete foundation. Grout must completely surround the lug
plate or pipe section and must entirely fill the slot created in the concrete. When using a
pipe section, a hole approximately 2 inches in diameter should be drilled through the
base plate into the pipe section to allow grout placement and inspection to assure that
grout is filling the entire pipe section.
9.1
Calculating Shear Load Applied to Shear Lug

The applied shear load, Vapp, used to design the shear lug should be computed as
follows:
Vapp = Vua - Vf
9.2
Design Procedure for Shear Lug Plate

Design of a shear lug plate follows (for an example calculation, see Appendix
Example 3, this Practice):
a. Calculate the required bearing area for the shear lug:
Areq = Vapp / (0.85 * * fc)
= 0.65
b. Determine the shear lug dimensions, assuming that bearing occurs only on
the portion of the lug below the grout level. Assume a value of W, the lug
width, on the basis of the known base plate size to find H, the total height
of the lug, including the grout thickness, G:
H = (Areq /W) + G
c. Calculate the factored cantilever end moment acting on a unit length of the
shear lug:
Mu = (Vapp/W) * (G + (H-G)/2)
d. With the value for the moment, the lug thickness can be found. The shear
lug should not be thicker than the base plate:
t = [(4 * Mu)/(0.9*fya)]0.5
e. Design weld between plate section and base plate.
f.
Calculate the breakout strength of the shear lug in shear. The method
shown as follows is from ACI 349-01, Appendix B, section B.11:
Vcb = AVc*4**[fc]0.5
where
AVc = the projected area of the failure half-truncated pyramid defined
by projecting a 45-degree plane from the bearing edges of the
shear lug to the free edge. The bearing area of the shear lug
shall be excluded from the projected area.

PIP STE05121
October 2006
9.3
Design Procedure for Shear Lug Pipe Section

Design of a shear lug pipe section follows (for an example calculation, see
Appendix Example 4, this Practice):
a. Calculate the required bearing area for the shear lug:
Areq = Vapp /(0.85fc)
= 0.60
b. Determine the shear lug dimensions, assuming that bearing occurs only on
the portion of the lug below the grout level. Assume the D, diameter of the
pipe section, based on the known base plate size to find H, the total height
of the pipe, including the grout thickness, G:
H = (Areq/D) + G
c. Calculate the factored cantilever end moment acting on the shear lug pipe:
Mu = Vapp * (G + (H-G)/2)
d. Check the applied shear force and the bending moment for pipe section
failure (AISC LRFD Manual, pages 16.1-31 and 16.1-100).
Shear check

where v = 0.9 and Vn = 0.6 fya (D2 (D-2t)2)/4

where b = 0.9 and Mn = the lesser of:

e. Design weld between pipe stub section and base plate.
f.
10.
Check the breakout shear as shown in section 9.2(f).
Pretensioning
Pretensioning induces preset tensile stresses to anchor bolts before actual loads are
applied. When properly performed, pretensioning can reduce deflection, avoid stress
reversal, and minimize vibration amplitude of dynamic machinery. Pretensioning may be
considered for the following:
a.
Towers more than 150 feet tall
b.
Towers with height-to-width ratios of more than 10
c.
Dynamic machinery such as compressors (PIP REIE686)
However, pretensioning adds cost, and the stress level is difficult to maintain because of
creep and relaxation of the bolt material. AISC does not recommend pretensioning
anchors. The AISC LRFD Manual paragraph C-A3.4 states, The designer should be
Page 21 of 24
PIP STE05121

October 2006
aware that pretensioning anchor bolts is not recommended due to relaxation and stress
corrosion after pretensioning. AISC Steel Design Guide Series 1, anchor bolt section
states, Because of long-term relaxation of concrete, prestressing of anchor bolts is
unreliable and hardly ever justified.
In practical applications, the engineer should decide whether to pretension the anchor
bolt by considering the following advantages and disadvantages:
10.1
Advantages
The advantages of pretensioning are as follows:
a. Can prevent stress reversals on anchors susceptible to fatigue weakening
b. May increase dampening for pulsating or vibrating equipment
c. Will decrease, to some extent, the drift for process towers under wind or
seismic load
d. Will increase the frictional shear resistance for process towers and other
equipment
10.2
Disadvantages
The disadvantages of pretensioning are as follows:
a. Can be a costly process to install accurately
b. No recognized code authority that gives guidance on the design and
installation of pretensioned anchors. There is little research in this area.
c. Questionable nature about the long-term load on the anchor from creep of
concrete under the pretension load
d. Possible stress corrosion of the anchors after pretensioning
e. Typically, no bearing resistance to shear on the anchor. This is because
during pretensioning, the sleeve around the anchor typically is not filled
with grout.
f.
Little assurance that the anchor is properly installed and pretensioned in

the field
g. Possible direct damage from pretensioning. The pretensioning itself can

damage the concrete if not properly designed or if the pretension load is
not properly regulated.
10.3
When to Apply Pretensioning

Pretensioning should be considered for vertical vessels that are more than
150 feet tall or for those with height-to-width ratios of more than 10 and if
recommended by the equipment manufacturer; pretensioning is required if
required for warrantee. When not otherwise specified, anchors for turbines and
reciprocating compressors should be torqued to the values shown in Table 4.
Page 22 of 24
October 2006
10.4
PIP STE05121
Concrete Failure
In certain situations, the use of high-strength anchors in concrete with high
pretension forces may exceed the ultimate capacity of the concrete by
prematurely breaking out the concrete in the typical failure pyramid. Whether
this situation can occur depends on the depth of the anchor and on other factors,
such as edge conditions and arrangement of the base plate. To ensure that
premature concrete failure does not occur, pretensioned anchors shall be
designed so that the breakout strength of the anchor in tension is greater than the
maximum pretension force applied to the anchor. In the case of a stiff base plate
covering the concrete failure pyramid, the stresses induced by external uplift on
the concrete are offset by the clamping force and the gravity loads. For this case,
the breakout strength needs only to be designed for the amount that the external
uplift exceeds the gravity plus pretensioning force loads.
10.5
Stretching Length
Prestressing should be implemented only when the stretching (spring) length of
the anchor extends down near the anchor head of the anchor. On a typical anchor
embedment, where there is no provision for a stretching length, if a prestressing
load is applied to the anchor, the anchor starts to shed its load to the concrete
through its bond on the anchor. At that time, a high bond stress exists in the first
few inches of embedment. This bond will relieve itself over time and thereby
reduce the prestress load on the anchor. Therefore it is important to prevent
bonding between the anchor and concrete for pretensioned anchors. Refer to
Figure G for a suggested detail.
10.6
Pretensioning Methods
Methods used to apply preload are as follows:
10.6.1 Hydraulic jacking: Hydraulic jacking is the most accurate method and is
recommended if the pretension load is essential to the integrity of the
design. The anchor design should accommodate any physical clearance
and anchor projections required for the hydraulic equipment.
10.6.2 Torque wrench: Torque wrench pretensioning provides only a rough
measure of actual pretension load but can be the method of choice if the
amount of pretension load is not critical. Torque values are shown in
Table 4.
10.6.3 Turn-of-nut: This method is the easiest to apply, but there are questions
as to the accuracy of the pretension load. The pretension load from
stretching the anchor can be closely determined, but accounting for the
compression of the concrete between the base plate and the nut at the
bottom of the anchor is difficult. Per the ASCE Anchor Bolt Report, the
required amount of nut rotation from the snug tight condition to
produce a desired tensile stress in the bolt (ft) can be determined using
the following formula.
Nut rotation in degrees = (360 l Ase ft Tlc) / (E Ad)
where:
Page 23 of 24
PIP STE05121
October 2006
bolt stretch length (the distance between the top and bottom
nuts on the bolt)
Ase
effective cross-sectional area of anchor
ft
desired tensile stress
Tlc
bolt threads per unit length
elastic modulus of bolt
Ad
nominal bolt area
If the bolt is to be retightened to compensate for any loss of pre-load,

this method requires that nuts be loosened, brought to a snug tight
condition, and then turned the number of degrees originally specified.
10.6.4 Load indicator washers: This method is good if the amount of pretension
desired is as much as the required load in slip-critical structural steel
connections. These loads are typically very high and not normally
required for anchors.
10.7
Relaxation
According to ACI 355.1 R, section 3.2.2, If headed anchors are pretensioned,
the initial force induced in the anchor is reduced with time due to creep of the
highly stressed concrete under the anchor head. The final value of the tension
force in the anchor depends primarily on the value of bearing stresses under the
head, the concrete deformation, and the anchorage depth. In typical cases the
value of that final force will approach 40 to 80 percent of the initial preload
(40 percent for short anchors, 80 percent for long anchors). Retensioning the
anchors about 1 week after the initial tensioning can reduce the loss of preload.
According to ACI 355.1R, the reduction of the initial preload can be reduced by
about 30 percent by retensioning.
10.8
Tightening Sequence
Pretensioned anchors should be tightened in two stages:
a. First stage should apply 50 percent of the full pretension load to all
anchors.
b. Second stage should apply full pretension load to all anchors.
Anchors should be tightened in a crisscross pattern. (Refer to Figure H.)
10.9
Recommended Tightening if Anchor Pretensioning Is Not Required

Anchors should be brought to a snug, tight condition. This is defined as the
tightness that exists after a few impacts from an impact wrench or the full effort
of a man using a spud wrench. At this point all surfaces should be in full contact.

m = 0.55 (PIP STE05121 - Figure F)

Vf = 0.55 x 99 = 54 kips > 17 kips
Therefore, anchors are not required to
resist shear.
X = 2.67
(Refer to Blodgett - Design of Welded Structures - Figure 17 [Similar].)
Note: Other theorys for determining "X" are equally valid.
By trial and error using the Anchor Bolt Design Spreadsheet , available to PIP Member
Companies only, the following is determined. (This takes only a few minutes.)
Nom. Anchor Diameter = 1 3/4" Anchor Embedment = 21" (12 anchor diameters)
Pedestal Size = 6' 4" x 5' 4" (c a1 = 30", ca2 = 28", ca3 = 46", ca4 = 28", s2 = 8", s1 = 0")
(Because only two bolts resist tension, s 1 must be input as 0".)
The Anchor Bolt Design Spreadsheet input and output sheets are attached for this condition.
This is a very large pedestal. If a smaller pedestal is required or desired, supplementary
tensile reinforcing can be used to resist the load. See Example 2.

EXAMPLE 2 - Column Plate Connection - Supplementary Tensile Reinforcing

Same data as Example 1. Use supplementary tensile reinforcing to reduce pedestal size.
Shear (Vua) = 17 kips
Per Example 1:
Moment (Mu) = 146 kip-feet
T = 116 k on two bolts
Tension (Nua) = 17 kips
Friction will take shear load.

Nom. anchor diameter = 1-3/4"
Assume a 2'-0" x 2'-6" pedestal.

Assume anchors are resisted by three hairpins.
116k / 3 = 38.7 kips
Per Table 3 of PIP STE05122, one #8 hairpin resists 48.37 kips. OK.
ldh (min) = 15.3" per Table 3. Width of hairpin = 6.0" + #8 diam. = 7.0". See Table 3.
Space hairpins 3" away from each anchor.

2 0.5
Distance from anchor to leg of hairpin = [3 +(7.0/2) ] = 4.61"
Required hef = C + ldh + 4.61/1.5. See Figure C-2.
Where C = concrete cover = 2"
hef = 2 + 15.3 + 4.61/1.5 = 20.4"

EXAMPLE 3 - Shear Lug Plate Section Design

Design a shear lug plate for a 14-in. square base plate, subject to a factored axial dead load
of 22.5 kips, factored live load of 65 kips, and a factored shear load of 40 kips. The base
plate and shear lug have f ya = 36 ksi and f c' = 3 ksi. The contact plane between the grout and
base plate is assumed to be 1 in. above the concrete. A 2-ft 0-in. square pedestal is
assumed. Ductility is not required.
Vapp = Vua Vf = 40 (0.55)(22.5) = 27.6 kips
Bearing area = Areq = Vapp / (0.85 fc') = 27.6 kips / (0.85*0.65*3 ksi) = 16.67 in. 2
On the basis of base plate size, assume the plate width, W, will be 12 in.
Height of plate = H = A req / W + G = 16.67 in. 2 /12 in. + 1 in. = 2.39 in.
Use 3 in.
Ultimate moment = M u = (Vapp / W) * (G + (H G)/2)

= (27.6 kips / 12 in.) * (1 in. + (3 in.-1 in.)/2) = 4.61 k-in. / in.
Thickness = t = [(4 * Mu)/(* fya)] = ((4*4.61 kip-in.)/(0.9*36 ksi)) = 0.754 in. Use 0.75 in.
This 12-in. x 3-in. x 0.75-in. plate will be sufficient to carry the applied shear load and resulting
moment. Design of the weld between the plate section and the base plate is left to the
engineer.
Check concrete breakout strength of the shear lug in shear.
Distance from shear lug to edge of concrete = (24 - 0.75) / 2 = 11.63 in.
AV = 24 * (2+11.63) (12 * 2) = 303 in. 2
Vcb = AVc*4**[fc']0.5 = 303 * 4 * 0.85 * [3000] 0.5 = 56400 lb = 56.4 kips > 27.3 kips

EXAMPLE 4 - Shear Lug Pipe Section Design

Design a shear lug pipe section for a 14-in. square base plate, subject to a factored axial dead load of
22.5 kips, factored live load of 65 kips, and a factored shear load of 40 kips. The base plate and
shear lug have fya = 36 ksi and fc' = 3 ksi. The contact plane between the grout and base plate is
assumed to be 1 in. above the concrete. A 2-ft 0-in. square pedestal is assumed. Ductility is not
required.
Vapp = Vua Vf = 40 (0.55)(22.5) = 27.6 kips
Bearing area = Areq = Vapp / (0.85 fc') = 27.6 kips / (0.85*0.65*3 ksi) = 16.7 in.
Based on base plate size, assume the pipe diameter will be 8-in. nominal std. weight pipe.
D = 8.625 in., t = 0.322 in., S = 16.81 in.3, Z = 22.2 in.3
2
Height of pipe = H = Areq / D + G = 16.67 in. / 8.625 in. + 1 in. = 2.93 in.
Use 3.5 in.
Ultimate moment = M u = Vapp * (G + (H G)/2)

= 27.63 kips * (1 in. + (3.5 in. - 1 in.)/2) = 62.17 k-in.
Check moment:
Mn = S [600/(D/t) + fya] = 16.81 in.3 *(600/(8.625 in./0.322 in.) + 36 ksi) = 982 k-in.
or Mn = Z * fya = 22.2 in.3 * 36 ksi = 799 k-in
Use Mn = 799 k-in
b = 0.9
bMn = (0.9)*(799 k-in.) = 719 k-in. > 62.17 k-in.
OK
Check
Vn = 0.6 Fy (D2 (D-2t)2)/4 = 0.6* 36 ksi * * ( 8.6252 (8.625 2*0.322)2 ) in.2 / 4
= 181.4 kips
v = 0.9
vVn = (0.9)*(181.4 kips) = 163.2 kips > 27.6 kips
OK
This 3.5-in.-long x 8-in.-diameter nominal std. weight pipe will be sufficient to carry the applied shear
load and resulting moment.
Check failure plane of pedestal:
Distance from edge of pipe to edge of concrete = (24 8.625) / 2 = 7.69 in.
AVc = 24*(2.5 + 7.69) 8.62*2.5 = 223 in.2
Vcb = AVc*4*f*[fc]0.5 = 223 * 4 * 0.85 * [3000]0.5 = 41500 lb = 41.5 kips > 27.3 kips
