anchor bolt embedment depth
(OP)
I am trying to design my anchor bolt embedment depth per the attached pdf and am having a hard time finding references to do the design.
I found one article from corypad on a circular anchor group going to a circular pier. If I use this same concept, what do you use for the g value?

Does anyone else have any references?

RE: anchor bolt embedment depth
So, EVERY different "post" needs to be INDIVIDUALLY checked for:
applied load (horizontal and vertical loads);
concrete diameter;
rebar diameter, depth, nbr of bars, distance between bars;
baseplate (hole-hole) distances
bolt dia and bolt embedded length
I've found there was a trade off between "over-building" several concrete posts (the ones that were lightly loaded) and their matching baseplates; vs the speed and construction accuracy and cheapness of only having two or three (or better yet only one or two!) different types and patterns of rebar, concrete, forms, and baseplates.
Today's (illiterate ? - unschooled? untrained? un-controlled!) manual workers will make mistakes if you make things complicated.

What I am looking for are good references to use to do the calculations for the anchor bolt embedments. Any information on gusset plate design to the base plate would be helpful as well.
