Single Angle Hanger
Single Angle Hanger
(OP)
Let me get an opinion on this... I've gotten different answers from different colleagues..
Single angle hanger, connected to the underside of concrete member with post-installed anchor bolts (yikes I know) - hanger steel bar welded to vertical leg of the angle applying tension to the vertical leg
What loads do the bolts need to designed for?
My initial thought was T(bolt) = T + (Tg)/e (tension due to load + added tension due to eccentrically applied load, resolved into a tension/compression)
after talking with other engineers and researching some.. AISC prying action could apply?
So in summary, my questions:
1. What are the resulting loads in the bolts?
2. When using the AISC Prying Action equation, if t > treq, does the tension in the bolts = T/n (no added tension from any eccentricity to be considered)?
3. PCI also has a method in chapter 6, which is slightly different than the 2 above, would this be acceptable for the described condition?
4. Should the angle be checked for bi-axial bending - strong axis bending (angle spanning between the bolts) + torsion (due to load applied at the vertical leg, thus eccentric to the centroid)
TIA for the help.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
