Ahh yes, it is coming together nicely. Thanks guys.
I guess I will just have to take faith in the notion that some loads *will* move the end of the fastener. But doesn't that sort of go against the notion of F=ma for vibration. I can't easily picture how a system/event would apply a...
Thanks guys, from your inspiration I am starting to get a better understanding.
I have referred to Shigley for some formulas.
The stiffness of the bolt kb = (AE)/l
So if you increase l, you decrease the stiffness - which is what happens when you have a sleeve.
The stiffness of the joint...
Thanks Desertfox
However, your attachment does not seem to work.
I appreciate/understand (now) the added benefit of a longer "stretch" length in order to determine anchor loading as opposed to relying on torque-to-anchor load "guesses".
I do understand the phenomena between metallic bolted...
AHHHHHH!!!
Getting closer :)
From that website:
"An anchor is subjected to a large tensile force by intentionally elongating the entire length of the bolt. A nut is generally advanced along the bolt threads until the desired tensile force is achieved. In general, there are no standard...
That is a good site, thanks. However, it also states:
"The sleeve permits elongation along the entire length of the bolt, and the bearing plate transfers the tension force from the anchor bolt to the concrete."
which I have read in other places, yet I cannot understand why or for what reason...
Hi Guys & Gals,
Long time reader - first time poster.
I have read numerous sources regarding the proper installation of anchor bolts for equipment baseplates and have yet to find the answer to my question.
It seems to be generally accepted good practice to install sleeves around the anchor...
