    Pull Out Strength

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses calculating the pullout strength of anchor bolts embedded in concrete or epoxy. It provides formulas to calculate the force required to pull a bolt out based on the bolt and hole diameters and lengths. It also gives example calculations and notes the pullout strength assumes a clean installation with a nut and washer. The weakest point is typically where the epoxy meets the concrete or where the epoxy meets the bolt.

    Calculating Anchor Bolt

    Pullout Strength

    Technical Bulletin # 691B

    Bulletin Description
    Anchor bolt Pull Out Strength is the force required to pull a single bolt out of its foundation. The
    separation can occur between the epoxy grout and the concrete foundation or it can occur between the
    anchor bolt and the epoxy grout itself. This bulletin provides the formulas needed to calculate the force
    required to pull an anchor bolt out in either manner.
    To calculate the Total Pull Out Strength of the entire machine, multiply the force required to pull one bolt
    out times the total number of bolts.
    When calculating Pull Out Strength it is assumed that:
    1. A clean, threaded rod or bolt with a coarse surface profile is used.
    2. A nut and washer are installed at the bottom of the rod to act as a mechanical interference.
    3. The anchor bolt hole is clean and dry, with no contaminants.

    Bond Strength Epoxy to Concrete


    The bond of the epoxy grout to the concrete
    foundation is stronger than the bond of the concrete to
    itself. Typically, concrete will separate next to the bond
    line of the epoxy and concrete. Therefore, the weakest
    link in the bond of epoxy to concrete is the concrete
    itself. The force required to pull concrete apart is
    called its Shear Strength. A conservative value for
    concrete shear strength is 800 psi. To determine the
    force required to pullout the bolt separating it at the
    epoxy to concrete bond, use the following calculation:

    Force = D x  x L x 800 psi


    Where:
    Bond between
    F = Bolt Pullout Force in lbs. L the epoxy and
    D = Grout Hole Diameter in inches the concrete
    L = Length in inches of the grout hole D breaks

     = 3.1415
    Below are examples of the force required to pull out
    various size bolts out of various size holes.

    Bond Strength Epoxy to Steel


    The bond of grout to the steel anchor bolt can be calculated
    using 1600 psi as the Bond Strength of epoxy to steel. This
    too is also a conservative number. To determine the force
    at the grout-to-bolt interface, use the following calculation:

    F = BD x  x L x 1600 psi
    Where:
    F = Bolt Pullout Force in lbs.
    D = Bolt Diameter in inches
    L = Length in inches of the bolt embedded in grout
    (does not include the portion of the bolt that is
    wrapped with tape or inside a bolt sleeve.

     = 3.1415

    surrounding epoxy assuming there is no nut.

    Pull-Out Strength – Anchor Bolt in Concrete


    As a comparison, an anchor bolt set in a concrete foundation will typically crack up
    o
    and out from the bottom of the bolt at a 45 angle in a cone shaped section. The
    force required to pull up this cone shaped section of concrete is the force required
    to separate concrete over the total surface area of the cone. The Surface
    Area of a Cone (SACone) = Lateral Surface Area of a Right Circular
    o
    Cone with 45 Sides:

    SACone =  x 1.4142 x H2 H
    The force required to pull the concrete apart
    is the Shear Strength of concrete (800 psi)
    45° 45°
    times the Surface Area of the Cone.
    Force lbs = 800 psi x SACone in2
    Force lbs = 800 x  x 1.4142 x H2 Concrete will break at
    about a 45o angle
