ACI 318 App D for CMU
ACI 318 App D for CMU
(OP)
If you have a bearing plate for a CMU wall that has some tension and moment on it, is it reasonable to design the anchor embedments using ACI 318 APP D? ACI 530 doesn't have an "APP D" or anything comparable, does it? Would you just use f'm in place of f'c?

For masonry, I would suggest going to the anchorage company and use their recommended numbers for the anchors.

I haven't read it yet, but the ACI 530-08 apparently changes the anchoring equations.

Depending on the magnitude of the tension force and assuming it is pulling out from the wall then I might consider an alternated method of transfering that force then 2 bolts that are near the edge of the wall. If the beam is pulling on the wall then what is bracing the wall?

I see equation 2-5, and the note in 2.1.4.2.3 that says "Where lbe is less than 12 db, the value of Bv in Eq. 2-5 shall be reduced by linear interpolation to zero at an lbe distance of 1 in."
That deals with embedment, though, not edge distances. I do see something in the commentary (on page CC-26 and CC-27, but it isn't very clear about how to adjust for edge distances).
