Homework 1, Prestressed bolt connection trough wall 1(1)
Return to MyCourses in PDF-format.
You are investigating a prestressed bolt connection. Anchor plates can be assumed to be rigid, concrete
anchoring capacity is not a limiting factor. Anchor bolt is free to move inside the hole that has been drilled
through the slab. Both anchor plates are loaded with varying forces. Forces effect only the direction given in
the picture.
Partial factors for materials and loads can be neglected in this exercise, thus the characteristic material
properties can be used.
- Yield and ultimate strength of the anchor bolt rod fy=950MPa ; fu=1050MPa
- Ultimate strain of the anchor bolt rod material εu=3,0 %
- Anchor rod diameter diam=35mm
- Modulus of elasticity of the bolt rod and anchor plates Ep=195GPa
- Concrete strength of the slab C35/45
- Thickness of the wall hL=900mm
- Dimensions of the anchor rod plates: 300 * 300 * t=50mm
Figure 1. Section of a wall that has been bolted with a Prestressed anchor plate.
Bolt is prestressed in such a way that the remaining prestress force in the bolt after losses is Pm.0 = 600kN
Calculate the total force of the bolt, clearance between the plate(s) and concrete when….
a) …when the load F1=500 kN and F2=0 kN.
b) …when the load is F1=500 kN and F2=500kN.
c) …when the loads are F1=700 kN and F2=500kN.
d) What is the contact pressure σc under the anchor plates on different sides of the wall when the load is
F1=400kN and F2=0 kN?
e) What is the maximum forces F1max and F2max that the bolt allows? (Any partial safety factors for
materials and loads can be assumed to be y=1 due to simplification)
f) What should be the jacking force Pmax of the anchor rod? Slipping of anchor during stressing can be
assumed to be 1,25mm. (Friction and long term losses can be neglected.)

and external loads.
