Pull out Strength of Anchor in Tension (ACI D.5.3)
(OP)
Hi everybody,
I am woking on my spread sheet for group anchor bolts design and now I am just looking for equation D-14 but for group anchors. does anybody know if this section applies to group anchors at all. why everything in section D.5.3 is about single bolts. Can I simply multiply the equation by number of bolts?

The critical conditions are:
1. The actual single anchor load (taking into account eccentricity of applied loads, etc.) vs. the single anchor capacity.
2. The actual group loading vs. the group capacity (some of the group capacities have eccentricity of load in the capacity equation).
