Reinforcing Against Side-Face Blowout
Reinforcing Against Side-Face Blowout
(OP)
Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to quantify the required reinforcing to control side-face blowout of an anchor bolt near a free edge? I can not go with a shorter anchor bolt since I need to lap it with the vertical dowels in order to get a ductil failure in tension. Also, the orientation of the pier in the building does not allow me to move it in any further from the free edge than it already is. Can I just throw stirrups in at 3" o.c. for the depth of the anchor bolt and call it good?

However you can thread one end of a renforcing bar and design using the normal anchorage and lap requirements for reinforcement.
a) use a bar larger than the thread diameter to allow for machining.
b) check manufacturer's recomendations for yield strength of remaining steel in threaded part.
See p10 of http://sv
But check your own supplier as well!
