Holding Down Bolts Example

This document contains calculations for the pull-out capacity of holding down bolts for a project with job number 1 Atlantic Quay. It calculates the tension capacity of M20 grade 8.8 bolts, the pull-out resistance of concrete, and confirms the design satisfies the requirement that bolt tension capacity exceeds pull-out resistance. Key parameters calculated include bolt length, embedment depth, conical surface area, and design pull-out resistance per bolt of 218 kN.

PULL-OUT CAPACITY OF HOLDING DOWN BOLTS


TEDDS calculation version 1.0.01
These calculations assume that there is no coexistent shear in the holding-down bolts.
Tension capacity of bolts
; Maximum tension force per bolt; Ft = 100.0 kN
; Try M20 (Grade 8.8); bolts; Pt = 110.3 kN ; dnut = 16 mm
Check Ft Pt ; Pass - Bolt tension capacity;

Pull-out resistance of concrete


;; Overall length of bolts; Lbolt = 600 mm
; Clear projection of bolt above nut; Lproj = 50 mm
;;; Thickness of washer, baseplate & grout; twas = 3 mm ; tp = 30 mm ; tgr = 50 mm
Depth of embedment; de = Lbolt - Lproj - dnut - twas - tp - tgr = 452 mm
From BCSA HDBolts document, effective conical surface area; for two bolts; Aec = 12825.9 cm2
Depth of embedment selected; de = 452 mm
Design spacing of bolts (c/c); Xccs = 300 mm
; Shear strength of concrete; vc = 0.34 N/mm2
Design pull-out resistance, per bolt; Ptc = Aec vc / 2 = 218.0 kN
Check Ft Ptc ; Pass - Concrete pull-out resistance
Bolts require adequate anchorage by suitably sized washer plates or equivalent under the bolt heads.
