    Increasing shear capacity of metal building column connection to concrete pier

    ACI 318-14, §17.5.2.2 defines le as ℓe = hef for anchors with a constant stiffness over the full length of embedded section, such as headed studs and post-installed anchors with one tubular shell over full length of the embedment depth; ℓe = 2da for torque-controlled expansion anchors with a...

    Increasing shear capacity of metal building column connection to concrete pier

    If you are having problems with the concrete shear breakout and do not want to add supplementary reinforcement at the anchors, try using a shear key under the base plate to give yourself a larger breakout wedge. AISC DG2 has a good example of a shear key design.

    Plate Washer Hole Diameter

    AISC Table 14-2 and AISC DG2 Table 2.3 are basically the same tables. The hole size listed in these tables is the maximum allowable hole size for the anchor to allow acceptable fit-up tolerances. When using an oversized hole in the base plate it is standard practice to use a plate washer with a...

    Minimum reinforcement ratio of thick concrete members

    The ACI 318-14 minimum flexural reinforcement for foundations is as follows and is applied on each face (top and bottom) of the foundation mat.

    Which nut for which bolt?

    See if this helps point you in the right direction https://www.greensladeandcompany.com/wp-content/themes/greenslade-theme/pdf/articles/engineering/Engineering%20-%20Matching%20bolt%20&%20nut%20grades.pdf https://www.portlandbolt.com/technical/nut-compatibility-chart/

    Plate washer welds

    I agree with KootK. As long as there is enough weld provided to transfer the shear force it should be fine.

    Concrete wall fire resistance

    With the appropriate type and depth of patching mortar applied to both sides of the wall the fire rating should be maintained. See this thread on Hilti Ask: Link

    Approach to Historical Steel Shape Analysis

    If you know Fy and Fu, then using the current steel design provisions would be appropraite. There is a good discussion of this by Larry Muir in the Steel Interchange section (attached) of the December 2021 Modern Steel...

    Age of steel building to rule out A36? Composite construction?

    For your time period, you most likely have A36 steel. A992 did not come out until around 2000 and did not become the preferred material specification for W-Shapes until around the 2004 to 2005 timeframe. I agree with phamENG, if you need strengths greater than the minimums of A36, then have...

    A307 Grade A in Place of F1554 Grade 36?

    ½” to 7/8” All-threaded bar conforming to F1554 Gr.36 is readily available from Portland Bolt: http://www.portlandbolt.com/products/rods/allthread_rod.html Check this sites out for more info and FAQ’s on F1554: http://www.f1554anchorbolts.com/

    Concrete Through Bolt Design

    Are you using plates on the both sides of the anchor? Typically I would size a plate on each side of the anchor that is large enough to satisfy the punching shear requirement of ACI 318 for the respective compression or tensile forces.

    Concrete Column Interaction Diagram, c>d'

    If you need the interaction diagram for a circular column check out a program called DT Column at http://www.dtware.com/ It will give you an interaction diagram for a circular column. However, I have never tried to verify the result by hand so use at your own risk.

    Concrete Column Interaction Diagram, c>d'

    Spoke too soon. Found the example sitting here in my book shelf at the office. this will be a multi part upload as there seem to be a file size limit.

    Concrete Column Interaction Diagram, c>d'

    What ash060 says is correct. You should be using a d for each layer of steel you have. I have some exaples at home I will have to look for them tonight and see if I can post them for you.

    One other thing I forgot. The tab if the files may be protected but there is no password used. You'll just have to unprotect the sheet to view equations.

    Concrete Column Interaction Diagram, c>d'

    Try using one of the files I have attached. They are as follows: For Concrete: RECTBEAM (318-05)_Ver1.2.xls -- Based on ACI 318-05 RECTBEAM_Ver3.2.xls -- Based on ACI 318-99 For either of these used the Uniaxial or Biaxial Tabs to get the Interaction Diagrams. For Masonry...
