Using friction to transfer shear to foundation
Using friction to transfer shear to foundation
(OP)
Does anyone know if it is acceptable to use friction to transfer shear from an equipment skid base to its foundation? (i.e. in lieu of anchor bolts or shear lugs)
Thanks
Thanks

I would never ever just set the equipment and hope it stayed in place on its own.

After concrete creep, wouldn't the tension you applied be relaxed? I think that anchors can take shear, but I question the long term ability of anchor tension.
