thread507-287615: Handrail/Guardrail Embedment
I read through this post trying to figure out the best way to design the embedment depth for a sleeve placed in concrete to support a post. Towards the bottom "Ron" posts a sketch of the situation with a moment which is resolved by a couple in triangular distribution. In this sketch he solved for a stress area which I am having trouble understanding how he got this.

Hopefully Ron will surface and 'splain it better.
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.

What kind of sealant do you use for this kind of thing?

The sketch only includes the stress from the moment. Typically there will also be shear stress that is added to this (added on the top and subtracted from the bottom).
