I was trying to determine if a post is installed in concrete , what things i should consider in my design..
1) Pull out strenght..
Could you help me find the code requirements..
Thanks in advance

So, I should design the post as it is an anchor/ bolt...
If my post is very close to the edge of concrete.. is there any min requirement that my post will not breakout the concrete at the edge..
Had a 2nd question: is there any requirement for base plate if i want to design using a base plate and anchors
RE: About Post installed in Concrete
2nd Question - You can look at AISC Design Guide #1 - Baseplate Design - there are a few examples which will walk you through using this similar design methods for baseplate and anchor design.

I do have AISC code book somewhere..but surely i donot own the Design guide #1,
Is there any other ref guide ..online or in code book..
..
For Calculating the pull out strength using Section D5.3:-
Area of bearing doesnot consider the post depth..for anchors it might work ..but for post?
RE: About Post installed in Concrete
while designing the post as anchor, i donot have any pojection of my post at end of concrete...will it not affect my pull out strength..
and since my post is smooth , what precaution should i take too...
RE: About Post installed in Concrete
RE: About Post installed in Concrete
we have to drill hole in concrete to required strength and then.. install the post..(rectangle or square)
So i needed to cal the required embedment in concrete and required edge distance...

WHAT IS THE MIN EDGE DISTANCE REQUIRED AND MIN EMBEDMENT REQUIRED..SO THAT SHEAR AND TENSION FAILURE IS AVOIDED

RE: About Post installed in Concrete
Could you send me some link or examples..where i could see my options in designing..
My post is not much heavyly loaded..
RE: About Post installed in Concrete
What will be the min edge distance i need to provide..
Can you help designing the post on concrete..
