ACI Appendix D, Abrg

ACI Appendix D, Abrg

ACI Appendix D, Abrg

(OP)
In ACI 318-05 Appendix D,  Sections D.5.3.4 and D.5.4.1 the term Abrg is mentioned, but I don't see it defined other than in Chapter 2.  Am I missing something.  What is the equation for Abrg?

 

RE: ACI Appendix D, Abrg

I'm thinking ALL the variables are defined over in the front of ACI-318, which can make it a little awkward, sometimes.  I assume Abrg would be the bearing area on a headed anchor bolt.

RE: ACI Appendix D, Abrg

Yes, it is the net bearing area of the head - discounting of course the shaft of the bolt.

 

RE: ACI Appendix D, Abrg

It could also be the bearing area of the plate if you need to use something larger than the nut or head of a headed rod.
