Where<br />

Tsb = The nominal torsional strength of the concrete pedestal from side-face blowout<br />

(kip-ft)<br />

Nsb = The nominal concrete side-face blowout strength of a single plate in tension<br />

(lb.)<br />

n = The number of torsional plates in the configuration<br />

= The radius of the embedded pipe (in.)<br />

3.2 Design <strong>for</strong> Flexure<br />

The next parameter to be designed <strong>for</strong> is flexure. One method of handling flexure would be<br />

to weld an annular plate to the bottom of the pipe. The plate would be able to resist the tensile<br />

and compressive <strong>for</strong>ces induced by the flexure by bearing on the concrete. This failure would<br />

also produce a concrete breakout or side-face blowout that can also be compared to an anchor<br />

bolt failure.<br />

3.2.1 Equivalent Concrete Breakout Strength in Shear<br />

ca1<br />

One method of hypothesizing the predicted behavior of the embedded section would be to<br />

treat it as a typical annular base plate with anchor bolts. When analyzing flexure on this setup,<br />

the flexure can be resolved into a compressive <strong>for</strong>ce on one side of the plate and a tensile <strong>for</strong>ce<br />
