Anchor bolt size check for legged supported vessels
ITEM NO. : ACTIVE CARBON
Reference : Moss, 2nd edition , page 157
1- Checking for uplift :
LEG TYPE : L
W = Total operating weight ( From software PV elite output) 3000 Kg
L = Leg height : ( From Eng. Drawing ) 1185 mm
D = Base plate dimension ( First trial considering the leg dimension) 200 mm
B = Base plate dimension ( First trial considering the leg dimension) 200 mm
d = Leg dimension ( From Eng. Drawing) 100 mm
F = Distance of hole from neutral axis of leg( From Sketch Geometry) 87 mm
z = Distance of hole from leg edge ( From Sketch Geometry) 60 mm
a = Distance between edge of leg and edge of base plate( Assume) 50 mm Standard Bolts
V = Shear @ top of legs : (From Software PV elite output) 595 Kg Size Area(mm²)
N = Number of legs : ( From Eng. Drawing) 4 M16 157
n = Concrete to steel modular ratio 10 M20 254
NT = Number of bolts in tension 1 M22 303
σb = Bolt yield stress 248 N/mm2 M24 353
Fb = Allowable bending Stress 110 N/mm2 M27 459
Anchor Bolt size ( Min. M20 ) M30 M30 561
AS = Anchor bolt cross section Area , Total per leg 561 mm2 M33 694
M = Overturning Moment on each leg = (V / N) x L / 1000 176.3 Kg - m M36 817
P = Axial load on each leg = W / N 750.0 Kg M39 976
e = Eccentricity = M / P 235.0 mm M42 1121
D / 6 = ( Criteria for uplift checking is e > D/6 ) 33.3 mm
UPLIFT WILL OCCUR, SEE BELOW FOR BOLT SIZING
2- Base plate thickness and anchor bolt size:
f = 0.5d + z ( For I-beam), For Angle Use f = F 87 mm
K1 = 0.5 D + z 160 mm
K2 = 6 n AS ( f + e ) / B 54196.8 mm2
K3 = - K2 ( 0.5 D + f ) -10134803 mm3
Y , resulted from the following equation ( First trial ) 117.0 mm
Solving equation Y3 + K1 Y2 + K2 Y + K3 = 0 0.78764955
T =- P ( D/2 - Y/3 - e ) / ( D/2 - Y/3 + f ) 881.9 Kg
fC = Concrete bearing pressure, 2( P + T ) / Y B < fC 1.4 N/mm2 < 20 N/mm2
Mt = Moment = T ( 0.5 D + f - Y ) 61.7 Kg-m
f1 = fC ( Y- a ) / Y 0.8 N/mm2
MC = a2 B ( f1 + 2 fC )/6 29.9 Kg-m
M1 = Max. Mt and MC 61.7 Kg-m
t = Base plate thickness = ( 6 M1 / B Fb )0.5 12.8 mm < 15mm O.K.
ft = Anchor bolt stress = T / NT Ab 2
15.4 N/mm < 110 Mpa O.K.
ft to be less than Bolt allowable stress BOLT SELECTED IS SATISFACTORY
