What's the pull force on the top bolt in terms of the point load, F?

Need to determine the pull force on the top bolt to find the pre-load (T = k x F x d --> F = T / (k x d)) to ensure no separation.

Thank you folks!IMG_2117.jpg

You may look to AISC Design Guide 1 Base Plate and Anchor Rod Design.
Assuming the base plate is rectangular or square , pull force P would be approximately P=8F/6= 1.33F.
Don't pull too much the concrete may break out. ( check probable failure modes).

My guess is there is no concrete involved here.
