Concrete Through Bolt Design
Concrete Through Bolt Design
(OP)
I am trying to design a through bolt for a thin, 2.5" thick, concrete slab. The bolt has both shear and tensile forces. I have read through ACI 318 Appendix D, but can't find any information on through bolts. I have checked for punching shear for the tensile force, but I'm not sure how to check the shear strength. Any advice?

I try to stay away from FEM whenever I can. It can be time consuming, and elastic analysis isn't the way to go when looking at potential failure modes.

Cantilever insets in masonry used to be checked in simplistically way by balancing the moment outside with a moment (based in linear triangular diagrams of stresses Compression-Tension) then checking the maximum stresses against allowable.
