Anchor Bolt Tension in BP subject to Moment

Anchor Bolt Tension in BP subject to Moment

(OP)
Can someone point me to a sample calc for determining the tension force in an anchor bolt for a base plate subject to overturning forces? I need to determine if an as-built arrangement of four 1/2" diameter anchor bolts is adequate. I already did a quick check using a simple couple to determine the tesion in the bolts and they appear inadequate; I would like to do a more rigorous analysis (moving neutral axis) but don't have any reference material in my current office. I seem to remember my old Gaylord and Gaylord Steel Design text having a simplified method.

Anyone...anyone...Bueller...?

Thanks
Ron

Sorry - I didn't realize that I was still in the fastener forum when I posted...I am re-posting this in the other topics forum.

Look in a copy of "Design of Welded Structures"  by Blodgett.
