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

(kip-ft)<br />

= The nominal concrete side-face blowout strength of a single bearing area on the<br />

flexural plate in tension (lb.)<br />

= The radius of the centerline diameter of the flexural plate (in.)<br />

3.3 Design Implications Summary<br />

By modifying the concrete breakout and bearing strength equations from ACI 318-08, a<br />

reasonable estimate of the torsional and flexural strength of the embedded pipe and plate section<br />

could be calculated. The estimated torsional and flexural strengths of the embedded pipe and<br />

plate section were calculated as approximately twice that of the traditional anchor bolt setup.<br />
