Tensile stress diameter after corrosion, Dtc = 34.76 mm Dtc = Dt - c

A. COMPUTATION OF TENSILE AND SHEAR FORCES ON BOLT

Factored moment, M = 250.465 KN-m
Factored shear, V = 80.2 KN
Factored load on pedestal, N = 279.688 KN
Total number of bolts, n = 8
Number of bolts per side, ns = 4
Bolt spacing, s = 0.5 m
hp = 0.62 m
h= 0.56 m

Projection, Preq = 215 mm < 250 PASS

D. CHECKING FOR PULLOUT FAILURE

As per sec 3.7.2.1 of the ASCE Publication "Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical
Facilities", provided that the distance of the reinforcement from the anchor bolt head does not exceed
the smaller of 1/3 the embedment length or 150 mm, the area of reinforcing steel required A st is,
Ast = Tu / fFy
where, Tu = Factored tensile load per bolt
Fy = Mimimum specified yield strength of reinforcing steel
f = Strength reduction factor
However, for ductile design, the required reinforcement would just be the ratio of the anchor bolt
strength pt to the reinforcement strength Fy, multiplied by the total anchor bolt area in tension A anchor.
Aanchor = ns At
= 4480 mm2
Rebar diameter, dr = 28 mm2
Number of rebars on tension side, nt = 4
Rebar yield strength, Fy = 460 N/mm2
Ast = (pt / Fy) Aanchor
= 2337 mm2
Aprov = nt pdr2/4
= 2463 mm2 > 2337 PASS
Furthermore, the embedment length of the anchor bolts was checked against the pier reinforcement to
ensure that the reinforcement is fully developed, both above and below the failure plane of the anchor.

E. CHECKING FOR LATERAL BURSTING (BLOWOUT) FAILURE

As per sec 3.7.2.2 of the ASCE Publication, the minimum edge distance required to prevent lateral
bursting of concrete is 4 times the bolt diameter. The minimum plinth edge distances recommended in
sec 12.1 of FW Standard: 40A3(Reading) are more than 4 times the bolt diameter.
As such, adherence to the FW standard ensures that lateral bursting will not occur.

F. CHECKING FOR LOCALIZED BEARING FAILURE

As per sec 3.6.4 of the ASCE Publication, bearing could be ignored provided that the bearing area
of the anchor bolt head is at least 1.5 times the tensile stress area. Type "A" anchor bolts in the FW
Anchor Bolt standard drawing satisfy this requirement. As such, bearing can be ignored.

G. CHECKING FOR CONCRETE SPLITTING FAILURE

As per Appendix D of ACI 318-02, sec D.8.1 states that the minimum center-to-center spacing of

standard: 40A3(Reading) states that structural steelwork shall have bolt spacings not less than 4 times
the bolt diameter. Compliance with the FW standard will preclude splitting failure.
