Design of Monopole Bases
Linear Distribution
Yes, probably this is something I should add to the definition to make things clear.
Abolt = n x Ab, where Ab is the net area of bolt.
They should not be equal.
Qbolts = Σ n x Ab (e - yi)
for case of uniaxial bending:
Qc = Area of bearing...
I will elaborate more:
- First you have to calculate moment of inertia of the areas and the moment areas about the “e” line for both the bolts and the concrete area which is under compression.
- The moment of inertia divided by the moment area will then be the location of the neutral axis.
-...
Impressive effort, I have a spreadsheet which also solve biaxial bending in base plate, I use a method developed by Horn for square base plates with a circular opening which takes into account individual bolts locations to calculate bolts tension and concrete stresses by taking sum of first...
