PULL-OUT CAPACITY OF HOLDING DOWN BOLTS These calculations assume that there is no coexistent shear in the holding-down bolts. Tension capacity of bolts Maximum tension force per bolt; Try M24 (Grade 8.8); bolts;

; ;

Ft = 29.0 kN Pt = 158.9 kN ; dnut = 19 mm Check Ft Pt ; Pass - Bolt tension capacity;

;; ; ;;;

Pull-out resistance of concrete Overall length of bolts; Clear projection of bolt above nut; Thickness of washer, baseplate & grout; Depth of embedment; Depth of embedment selected; Design spacing of bolts (c/c);

Lbolt = 1000 mm Lproj = 25 mm twas = 2 mm ; tp = 25 mm ; tgr = 50 mm Aec = 36885.0 cm 2 de = Lbolt - Lproj - dnut - twas - tp - tgr = 879 mm de = 879 mm Xccs = 75 mm vc = 0.34 N/mm 2 Ptc = Aec vc / 2 = 627.0 kN Check Ft Ptc ; Pass - Concrete pull-out resistance

From BCSA HDBolts document, effective conical surface area; for two bolts;

Shear strength of concrete; Design pull-out resistance, per bolt;

Bolts require adequate anchorage by suitably sized washer plates or equivalent under the bolt heads.
