No of Ver. Rebar Effective to Resist Tensile Anchors
The
no of vertical rebars which are effective to resist the tensile anchors is
different in
LC 2&3 - with moment case and
LC 4 - without moment case.
Due to
the moment, in
LC 2&3 only part of anchors
nt in the group mobilize
tensile force and as such only part of rebar
nv-M
in concrete pedestal is
effective to resist the tensile
force, as illustrated below.
To get
nv-T
in
LC 4 is straight forward as
there is no moment applied and
thus all anchors in the group are
uniformly in tension under tensile load.
User can count all vertical
rebars locating within min( 0.5h
ef , 8" ) distance
(ACI 318-11 RD.5.2.9) from the
exterior anchor's
centerline as
nv-T
