I am designing concrete spread footings of steel columns. The footing thickness is determined by the anchor rod embedment length. No moment and no uplift exist in my base plate. I wonder in this situation, what is the minimum anchor rod embedment length. Please let me know. Thanks a lot!
 
12 times the diameter of the rod should be adequate.
