The highest loaded anchor element in shear does
not always control the anchor channel design
in shear. The highest utilization, defined by the
parameter (V ua,total / φ Vn ) controls the design.
Therefore, the shear design strengths must be
calculated for each anchor element and checked
against the total factored shear load acting
on that element. The most unfavorably loaded
anchor element (highest utilization) controls the
design in shear.
The shear forces acting on each anchor element
can be determined assuming a triangular force
distribution.
The triangular force distribution assumes the
shear force acting on each T-bolt (1750 lb) has an
influence on each of the anchor elements within a
given distance (ℓ in) from the T-bolt.
The resulting shear force on each anchor element
(V 1, uax ) from the shear force acting on T-bolt #1
will be proportionate by the factor
(A 1, #x ) to the distance of the anchor element
with respect to the distance ℓ in. Note that the
influence length (ℓ in) does not necessarily
coincide with the channel length.
Even when a T-bolt is located directly over one
anchor element, the T-bolt load is still distributed
to all other anchor elements within the distance
ℓ in from the T-bolt.
