Circular pattern anchor bolts
Circular pattern anchor bolts
(OP)
Im am designing a monopole cellular comm. tower. The base plate has a circular pattern of 20 bolts (42 in dia.). I have been looking in both ACI 318-08 and AISC thrid edition. Both books seem to be geared toward square or rectangular patterns. Is there different methods used for a circular pattern? Also, I am having a hard time finding the definition if group anchor bolts versus single anchor bolts. Would I consider them as a group or on an individual basis? Thanks in advance for the help.

If however your anchors are more than 3*anchorage depth apart then the pullout cones will not interact and anchors can be treated individually.
I'm not convinced that the square based pyramid "pullout cone" was the best way to go but it does simplify calculations for rectangular layouts.
