dumb anchor rod question
dumb anchor rod question
(OP)
I know that the embedment of an anchor rod is to the top of the nut that gets welded to it. There seems to be a little hesitance (not on my part) to show this on our typical detail and I was hoping someone could point me to a reference that states this explicitly. I have looked pretty thoroughly in the AISC base plate design guide. I also have looked in ACI app. D. Both show it graphically, but don't state it explicitly.

As far as where it's defined in code, it's hard to argue with a detail that shows exactly what is meant, for one thing. See definition for hef page in appendix D definitions, Effective embedment depth in D.1, and figure RD.0.
