ACI 318-19 Section 17.10 - Anchor Bolt Design for Seismic Site Class C

[oengineer]

I am seeking a design example for an Anchor Bolt Design for Seismic Site Class C based on ACI 318-19 Section 17.10. I am seeking a design example that shows the various Sub Sections of Section 17.10 being adhered to & referenced.

If anyone has one, could you please pass it along.

Also, Comments/suggestions are appreciated.

I have no experience with ACI requirements but our requirements aren't that brutal to follow
Can't you just do this yourself? Or use Hilti's (etc) software to do it for you?

I do not have access to the Hilti software (or any other software) at this point.

There are certain clauses/sub sections in the ACI 318-19 Section 17.10 that I would like to see clarified in an example calculation.

Are these cast-in or post-fixed (epoxy/mechanical)?
If post-fixed then all proprietary softwares are free to my knowledge - download one

You may have more success if you post the specific anchor you're trying to design and which clauses are causing you headaches

ACI 355.3R-11, "Guide for Design of Anchorage to Concrete: Examples Using ACI 318 Appendix D," has quite a few example calcs based on ACI 318-11. I didn't find an updated version for ACI 318-19 or later, but you may still find this document to be useful. The example calcs are very well organized and annotated, and I found it easy to convert the several cases that I use the most into Mathcad.

These are cast-in-place anchor bolts

Thank you for mentioning this reference.

Here are the sub sections in question:

17.10.5.1, 17.10.5.2, 17.10.5.3, 17.10.5.4

Any examples or references on these items are greatly appreciated

Do you mean seismic design category C?

 

[oengineer]

Do you mean seismic design category C?

Yes, I am asking about seismic design category C

You probably know this, but Hilti, Simpson, and Dewalt all have free software that can do a lot of the calculations.
I live in a seismic design category D or greater, so I can't assist you with an example. To be honest, the calculations are so onerous that I gave up about 10 years ago, trying to do it by hand.
