Currently Playing: How to Calculate Pull-Out Resistance | Maximizing the Strength of Your Holding Down Bolts.

In this video, we will be discussing the critical role that holding down bolts play in construction & how to properly calculate their tension capacity & pull out resistance. Whether you're building a new structure or renovating an existing one, it's essential to ensure that these bolts are strong enough to withstand the expected forces & keep your building secure. Our tutorial will guide you through the steps to calculate the tension capacity of the bolts, taking into account factors such as size, grade, & expected tension force. We will also show you how to determine the pull-out resistance of the concrete, considering factors such as overall bolt length, clear projection above the nut, & thickness of various materials. It's important to compare the tension force to both the tension capacity & pull out resistance to ensure the bolts are sufficient for the job. If these values are not sufficient, we will explain what steps you can take to adjust them. By the end of this video, you will have a thorough understanding of the importance of holding down bolts & how to properly calculate their capacity and resistance. This knowledge will give you the confidence to ensure that your structures are secure and stable. Thank you for watching!
