Anchorage in Circular Column
Anchorage in Circular Column
(OP)
Dear All,
Is there any paper or Ideas of calculating the Concrete modes of failure per ACi-318-Appendix D for an anchorage in the face of a circular column. What I mean by face NOT in a circular cross-section as anchors protruding from concrete pedestal; it is a beam connected to circular column.
thanks in advance

If its a shear connection your worried about, I would think about using epoxy anchors, or anchors that pass right through the column from plate to plate. Really these bolts could take any tension requirements also (if sized right).

I don't know of any. However, I believe the model shown below to be a rational extension of the Appendix D provisions to curved surfaces. Obviously, the gentler the curve, the 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.
