Bending of eye bolts and eye hooks
Bending of eye bolts and eye hooks
(OP)
I have a situation where we are trying to apply a tension load of approximately 13 kips to a rod bent into the shape of an "eye". However, the tension load is at a low angle (18 degrees) relative to the concrete surface in which the eye is embedded. Thus, the load is being applied at the side of the eye, rather than as an upward tensile load at the top of the eye. Should I be worried and checking the bent rod/eyebolt for bending about the circular secton of the rod? When I check this, using eccentricity equal to the eye diameter, the rod will fail in bending at the base of the eye or the concrete surface.

Can you embed your eye bolt at the desired angle where every thing is in tension?

there is not much difference between a one piece eye bolt and a
coupling nut on a bent rod. You can find this guidance, reduction
in capacity, associated with almost any lifting device.
Also look at the "User Information Sheet" listed on this page.

Here is the RUD site with a little more information. I was looking the through bolt types to see if you could gain a little by getting the rod in shear. None listed have the capacity you require.

These are just conceptual sketches with no consideration on sizes or material. the lug style would be far less complicated that one with the gusset.
Excuse my drawing as I haven't ran this program in about 10 years.
