Load to A.B.
Load to A.B.
(OP)
I am using this detail as a hold-down at the end of a shear wall. I got a comment on how I determined the load in the bolts; I tried a few different methods and got fairly close results. I was just curious on how you guys would determine the load in the bolts.

At the end of a shear wall, I am using the HSS as a hold-down. This condition occurs at the end of a footing inside the wall on top of a curb. Therefore, I am unable to space out the A.B. to get an even distribution, so I was wondering what method would you guys use to determine the load to each of the bolts.

If the plate was thick enough, there wouldn't be any prying effects, and the tension in the closest anchor could be taken as the tension in the column.

Add 30% for prying.

Eccentrically loaded holddowns are frowned upon because of the moment created.

I do not like the detail at all...
