Uplift on single anchor
Uplift on single anchor
(OP)
When moment is applied on steel column, the base plate resists by axial forces in anchors bolts. Moment is divided by anchor bolt spacing to obtian axail compression and tension (uplift) in bolts. What to do if there is only one bolt under one wooden post?






RE: Uplift on single anchor
For your situation, I would work out a triangular (or rectangular - depending if you are using ASD or LRFD) compression zone and use the distance from the centroid of that compression zone to the anchor rods in tension as the moment arm.
