12 Theoretical Bracket Mechanical Capacity SECTION 4. Bracket Mechanical Capacity The capacity of foundation brackets is a function of mechanical strength of bracket components, strength of concrete anchors, and integrity of the structure upon which the bracket is affixed. A structural engineer and/or an experienced installer must judge the integrity of an existing structure. This section regards tests conducted by Magnum Piering, Inc. to evaluate mechanical strength of bracket components. Weld Shear: Bracket Plate Dimensions = 21 in x 8 in x 3/8 in Length of welds, L = 8 in Minimum Weld Thickness, t w = 0.25 in x 2 (both sides) Minimum Steel Yield Strength, ) y = 36 ksi Approximate Steel Shear Strength, ) s = 0.7 x ) y Weld strength = L t w ) s = (8)(0.5)(0.7)(36) = 100 kips Inner Shaft Bolt-Hole Shear: Length of Shear Path, l = 1.7 in x 2 paths x 1 side = 3.4 in Thickness of Shaft, t s = 0.25 in Stnd, 0.13 in Light Minimum Steel Yield Strength, ) ys = 46 ksi Approximate Steel Shear Strength, ) ss = 0.7 x ) ys Shaft Strength = l t s ) ss x 2 bolt holes = following Standard Duty: (3.4)(0.25)(0.7)(46)(2) = 55 kips Light Duty: (3.4)(0.13)(0.7)(46)(2) = 28 kips Bolt Shear: Bolt Diameter, d b = 3/4 in Bolt Grade = SAE 8 Minimum Bolt Yield Strength, ) y = 130 ksi Approximate Bolt Shear Strength, ) s = 0.7 x ) y Bolt Area = 1/4 % d b 2 x 2 bolts = 0.88 in 2 Bolt Strength = 1/4 % d b 2 )s = (0.88)(0.7)(130) = 80 kips Bracket mechanical capacity is theoretically governed by inner shaft bolt-hole shear and is = 55 kips and 28 kips for double bolted standard and light duty shaft, respectively. -12-
13 Bracket Mechanical Capacity Testing Materials: Test Specimen Magnum plate bracket Load Fixture 12" thick, high-strength concrete slab-on-grade Test Equipment: Test Location: Twin 25 ton hydraulic power packs Horizontal Load Frame Vibrating wire load cell Optical displacement monitoring equipment Magnum Headquarters - West Chester, OH Test Procedures: 1. Mount bracket to concrete slab 2. Set-up horizontal load frame 3. Photograph mounted bracket and load frame configuration prior to start of test 4. Apply pressure in increments to the bracket using the hydraulic rams 5. Monitor bracket displacement and measure applied load 6. Record maximum capacity of bracket 7. Plot load vs. displacement and establish yield point 8. Sketch and photograph bracket failure modes -13-
14 Bracket Mechanical Capacity Test Results As anticipated, the failure mode for the plate bracket was observed to be shearing of the bolt holes. The strength of the bolted connection is approximately double for two bolts compared with one bolt. Sample results of the tests are given in the table below. Summary of Results Test Specimen Single-Bolt Strength Double-Bolt Strength Bracket Mounted to Light Duty Pier (1/8" Wall Shaft) Bracket Mounted to Standard Duty Pier (1/4" Wall Shaft) Bracket Mounted to Heavy Duty Pier (1/4" Wall Shaft) 14 kips 34 kips 25 kips 58 kips 25 kips 58 kips -14-
15 Theoretical Bracket Concrete Anchor Capacity SECTION 5. Bracket Concrete Anchor Capacity The capacity of foundation brackets is a function of mechanical strength of bracket components, strength of concrete anchors, and integrity of the structure upon which the bracket is affixed. A structural engineer and/or an experienced installer must judge the integrity of an existing structure. This section regards tests conducted by Magnum Piering, Inc. to evaluate the strength of concrete anchors used to attach a bracket to an existing structure. Quantity of anchors = 18 Anchor type = ½ in diam., 5- ½ in long, Zinc Plated Trubolt Carbon Steel Shear strength in 2,000 psi concrete = 7,240 lbs ea. Load factor to account for close spacing = 0.40 Load factor to account for edge distance = 0.20 Shear strength of anchors: top row = (6 anchors)(7.24 kips ea)(0.20 factor) = middle row = (6 anchors)(7.24 kips ea)(0.4 factor) = bottom row = neglect due to test geometry* = 9 kips 17 kips 0 kips Total = ( ) = 26 kips *due to unbalanced moments, bottom row of anchors can be placed in tension, therefore shear contribution of bottom row should be neglected when structure lacks lateral and moment resistance -15-
