Design Anchorage without Shear or Tension Load?
Design Anchorage without Shear or Tension Load?
(OP)
Typically I have designed post-installed concrete anchorage for outdoor tanks that are subjected to wind load. With the wind load, I can establish an over-turning moment, and then design for the tension and shear load using ACI 318 Appendix D. When a tank is located indoors on a 4" deep housekeeping pad and is not subjected to a lateral load, how does someone determine the size and frequency of the post-installed concrete anchors? Without a lateral load does any code establish a minimum strength, I didn't find a minimum in ACI 318 appendix D.

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.
