No of Anchor Bolt Along Width / Depth Edge
n
bw
and n
bd are for side-face blowout check use.
* Side face
blowout resistance only needs to compare with the
sum of tensile force of anchor bolts close to an edge
(Reference ACI 318-14 R17.4.4.2)
* n
bw and n
bd are the number of bolt
along each edge. These two
inputs are used to calculate the
applicable portion of tensile
force acting along each edge
for side face blowout check use.
* n
bw is the no of bolt along
pedestal width edge (b
c edge),
one
side
only.
* n
bd is the no of bolt along pedestal depth edge
(d
c edge),
one
side only.
