Anchor Bolt Head Plates
Anchor Bolt Head Plates
(OP)
Wondering if anyone has a simple technique for determining the required thickness of a head plate on an anchor bolt embedded in concrete.
I'm not looking for a conservative method that gives me a safe solution, but rather looking for a way to assess a reliable capacity for an existing bolt design. The plate looks a little thin and I wanted to check to see if it will prevent the bolt from developing its full capacity (i.e. based on the steel strength).
