ANCHOR RODS DESIGN
ANCHOR RODS DESIGN
(OP)
For anchor rods design in tension & shear , is it sufficient to keep 5d or 4" distance from edge as per AISC design guide-1 or do we need to satisfy conditions as per ACI(318-05)- appendix-D "Anchorage to concrete" also?
I am having a steel column on pile cap with standard reinforcement in the pile cap.

I'd say you should satisfy Appendix D. One thing I've done in the past when I had trouble meeting this, was to provide lots of reinforcement around the rods. This undoubtedly helps with some of the limit states.
