Embedded Anchor Bolts In Concrete Masonry
Embedded Anchor Bolts In Concrete Masonry
(OP)
I need to design an anchor bolt connection, in an 8" concrete masonry wall, to resist 15.3K uplift.
When using NCMACN EQuations 7-1 through 7-4, EQ 7-4, being the prerequisite to EQ 7-1, results in such a low tensile value as a result of edge distance alone, taking no consideration for embedment length.
Does edge distance in concrete masonry, in this type of tensile application, control so much that embedment length, of the anchor bolt, has no significance?
Is there an alternative solution?
Thank you!

Thank you for the alternative solution. I will consider this.
However, since the project has been bid, and I want to avoid an add for additional rebar, I would like to consider the anchor bolt with a significant embedment depth into a grouted core. Whether this is the final decision or not, for future reference, I am still curious, and the question remains:
Does edge distance in concrete masonry, in a tensile application, control so much that embedment length, of the anchor bolt, has no significance in increasing the allowable tension?
Thank you!
