Consider Only Half of Total Number of Anchor Bolt Carrying
Shear
Due To Oversized Bolt Hole on Base Plate
This input provides user an option to deal with oversized bolt hole on
base plate and it's impact to anchor bolt's shear capacity transmitted
through bearing between base plate and anchor rod.
When
Yes is selected, only
50% of the total number of anchor bolt will
be used to calculate anchor rod material shear
capacity
When
No is selected,
100% of the total number of anchor bolt
will
be used to calculate anchor rod material shear
capacity
Due to construction tolerance, oversized bolt hole is
commonly required
on based plate as per Table 14-2 in the AISC Steel
Construction Manual
13th Edition.
In AISC Design Guide 1 Base
Plate and Anchor Rod Design 2nd Edition
section 3.5.3, it recommends to use 2
of 4 anchor rod to transfer the
shear, unless special provisions are
made to equalize the load to all
anchor rods.
