Chapter 3
Cast-in-Place Anchor Design
Publication: Anchorage Design for Petrochemical and Other Industrial Facilities
Abstract
The Concrete Capacity Design (CCD) Method uses a pyramid failure surface with a slope of 1.5 to 1 (approximately 35 degrees) for both tensile and shear loading. This chapter details how testing has revealed that the CCD Method is a more accurate predictor of concrete capacity for various anchorages than methods using bond strength of anchors to concrete. Design of foundations in petrochemical and other industrial facilities often requires the anchorage of tall vessels and structures subject to large wind and seismic forces, which in turn results in large diameter anchors. Recommendations are included on the implementation of design practices to facilitate constructability and minimize future anchor repair or replacement.
