No of Ver. Rebar Effective to Resist Tensile Anchors - Nu
Case
When there is no moment applied to the anchor bolt group, all anchors
in the group are
uniformly in tension under tensile load.
No of ver. rebar effective
to resist tensile anchors n-N
u = number of ver.
rebar located
around
all anchor bolts in the group within
min( 0.5h
ef , 8" )
distance.
These rebar are considered to be
effective to resist anchor bolt's tensile force.
