Strength and Behavior of Bolt Installations Anchored in Concrete Piers

摘要

In the study, the primary objective was to investigate the strength and behavior of anchor bolt installations. In one phase, high strength anchor bolt groups embedded in reinforced concrete piers were investigated. Bolts with a 1-3/4-in. diameter and a yield stress of 105 ksi were used. In the second phase, six single bolt tests were performed. The clear concrete cover to each bolt was maintained at 5-5/8 in. Two different steel grades were used in manufacturing the bolts (55 and 105 ksi).
