ECCENTRIC BASE PLATE PULLOUT CALC.
ECCENTRIC BASE PLATE PULLOUT CALC.
(OP)
I have an eccentric base plate located at the corner of a pier with uplift that has 5 anchor bolts. These bolts do not follow any PCI 4 bolt pattern. Does anyone know where to look for formulas or what they do in this situation? As always, many thanks for your ideas!

fs = P/A +/- (Mc)/I and keep the signs straight for the direction of load with I being the moment of inertia for the bolt group.

P/A-+M/S is a good rule, Apply stress reduction if applicable.
