This program assumes that the anchor strength is not governed by dutile yielding of the anchored steel which would cause significant redistribution of anchor forces and attachment that distributes the loads to the anchors is sufficiently stiff. load (LRFD) to determine the required shear lug and weld size. Shear and tension strength is calculated from Appendix D of ACI 318. This spreadsheet program is intended to analyze and design anchor bolt and embedment strength of the concrete. ACI 318-05 This program is a workbook consisting of two (2) worksheets, described as follows: Worksheet Name Description Doc This documentation sheet Anchor Bolt Embedment Strength per ACI Program Assumptions and Limitations: 1.
Program Environment: Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Creation Date: January 12th, 2008 Design References: 1.
The spreadsheet is protected but with no password required. Tables and figures have been given adjacent to the required data cells in an attempt to self contain the calculations within the worksheet. The spreadsheet is designed to find the strength of a determined anchor bolt or bolts within certain concrete parameters. 'Anchor Bolt' - Embedment Strength per ACI 318-05 Appendix D Program Description: 'Anchor Bolt(CSA).xls' is a MS-Excel spreadsheet workbook for the analysis of anchor bolt anchorage per ACI 318-05, Appendix D.
