Anchor bolt embeddment
Anchor bolt embeddment
(OP)
I have put together this spread sheet (from old calc) to check the anchorbolt embedment on this light pole.
I am not sure about the highlighted values.
Are these highlighted values correct?
If so, then there is really something wrong in the calculation. The pole is 14' tall; 2" anchor bolt embedded is obviously incorrect.
Can one of you guys please guide me here.
Thanks

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.

That's actually great to hear Canwest. I've never seen any failures but, then, I haven't looked too hard either. Do you actually see it at braced columns and not others?Ha ha! LOL! Of course! Nobody's ever seen an anchor bolt failure in the wild! YOLO! //S//
