Step 3: Determine the shear forces acting on each anchor element.
The total tension force acting on each anchor
element (N uax,total ) will be the sum of the T-bolt
forces (N 1,uax + N 2,uax ) acting on that element.
As a check, the sum of the total tension forces
acting on all of the anchor elements should equal
the sum of the tension forces acting on all of the
T-bolts.
N ua1,1 = 204.4 lbs
N ua2,1 = 0 lbs
N ua1,2 = 449.8 lbs N ua2,2 = 260 lbs
N ua1,3 = 195.8 lbs N ua2,3 = 590 lbs
N ua1,total = N ua,1,1 + N ua2,1 = 204 lbs
N ua2,total = N ua,1,2 + N ua2,2 = 710 lbs
N ua3,total = N ua,1,3 + N ua2,3 = 786 lbs

Eq (1)
The T-bolt #1 shear force (1750 lb) will have an
influence on each anchor element as shown
below. The shear forces on anchor elements
#1, #2 and #3 resulting from this influence will
be defined as V ua1,1 , V ua1,2 and V ua1,3 respectively.
The influence factor A 1, #x corresponds to the
influence on anchor element #x from T-bolt #1.
The parameter “s” corresponds to the spacing
between each anchor element. The parameter ℓ
in corresponds to the influence length for T-bolt
#1.
h ef = 4.173 in.
Channel specification Length: 13.8 in., anchor spacing s: 5.906 in.,
projection: 0.984 in., width: b ch = 1.650 in., height: h ch = 1.220 in.
ℓ y = 0.0796 in. 4
s = 5.906 in.
ℓ in = 4.93x(0.0796 in. 4 ) 0.05 (5.906 in) 0.5
ℓ in =10.56 in
The T-bolt #2 shear force (1750 lb) will have an
influence on each anchor element as shown
below. The shear forces on anchor elements
#1, #2 and #3 resulting from this influence will
be defined as V ua2,1 , V ua2,2 and V ua2,3 respectively.
The influence factor A #x,2 corresponds to the
influence on anchor element #x from T-bolt #2.
The parameter “s” corresponds to the spacing
between each anchor element. The parameter ℓ
in corresponds to the influence length for T-bolt
#2

Step 4: Determine the flexural moment (M u,flex ) acting on the anchor channel.

Eq (2)
Eq (1)
M u,flex is a bending moment. ΣF : 850 lbs – F 1 –F 2 = 0
Assume M u,flex occurs at the “point of load
application” → M u,flex occurs at the location of the
T-bolt. ΣM:
Assume the channel is a simply supported beam. F 2 = 835.61 lbs → F 1 = 14.39 lbs
