design check of handrail post embedment
design check of handrail post embedment
(OP)
I am looking for literature references about how to check the strength of a masonry or concrete support for a handrail post. Google searches of this site and also of the net did not yield anything useful.
The moment and shear at the base of a laterally loaded 42" high handrail post have to be dissipated into the concrete or masonry support, and I am trying to rationalize the triangular stress distribution on the support material and required embedment depth of the post. Its not a problem that appears solvable in one or two simple hand calc iterations. I can deal with edge distance issues etc if a stress distribution can be estimated. Has anyone dealt with this problem?
