Anchoring of Air Receiver Tank
Anchoring of Air Receiver Tank
(OP)
Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right forum, but you never know until you ask!
I have to specify bolt hole locations to anchor a concrete tank to a cement pad foundation.
Is there a minimum distance I must go from the edge of the foundation to the anchor bolt? If so, is there a standard I can refer to for confirmation?

Appendix D - Anchoring to Concrete will be where you want to look.
However, if you have never designed concrete structures before, you are in for an uphill struggle. I would recommend finding a colleague who has done it before to assist.

You would get more traction probably in structural engineering other or civil engineering other.
Min 150mm and inside of any re bar is a good start point.
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

Concrete is made from cement, aggregate, and sand.
