• Determine the breakout strength of the system of torsional plates<br />

• Determine the torsional strength of the system of plates<br />

• Check to ensure that the Tn breakout is greater than Tu<br />

• Based on the breakout length above, choose depth of embedment <strong>for</strong> pipe - the breakout<br />

should not reach the surface of the concrete<br />

• Size welds to handle design loads (AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications Section<br />

6.13.3.2.4)<br />

Embedded Pipe and Flexure Plate Design<br />

For the design of the flexural plate, the designer will need the following in<strong>for</strong>mation from<br />

the FDOT program or their own design:<br />

• Design loads <strong>for</strong> shear, flexure, and torsion (Vu, Tu, and Mu)<br />

• Diameter and length of the circular pedestal portion of the foundation<br />

• Specified compressive strength of concrete<br />

• Embedded pipe dimensions<br />

The designer should then use this in<strong>for</strong>mation and their own design knowledge to design<br />

the following <strong>for</strong> the embedded pipe and plate section (See Figure D-3):<br />

• Assume the number of idealized flexural bearing positions on flexure plate is 2<br />

• Determine thickness of flexure plate, minimum of 1 inch<br />

• Determine diameter of flexure plate, minimum of 2 inches greater than embedded pipe<br />

outside diameter (maintain aspect ratio of width to thickness less than 2:1 to avoid prying<br />

action)<br />

• Determine the breakout edge distance, ca1<br />

• Determine the angle available <strong>for</strong> each plate to breakout<br />
