anchor bolts in piers with shear & tension
anchor bolts in piers with shear & tension
(OP)
There are several methods available to calculate the shear & pullout tension strength of the anchor bolts. In lieu of ACI 318-02 requirements, is it ok to still use the 1992 PCI guide which is not mentioned in IBC2003 or IBC2000? Thank you.

Sometimes codes have small sections that say something to the effect of "...or other rational method". In this case, I would agree that the PCI could then be considered.

The latest is supposed to be based on ACI-02 which I didn't know was out yet.

Though suprisingly expensive.
