Anchor Bolt properties

Dia
Anchor bolt stress area
yield strength of bolt
Tension capacity of each bolt
No of bolts per pedastal
Therefore moment resisted by bolts at each pedastal before failure
Bending moment at the top of pedastal due to impact (M)
Therefore No of barrier posts to fail due to impact
Therefore length of barrier over which failure of barrier posts occurs

Shear capacity of each bolt

Shear force transferred to pedastal top due to impact
Therefore No of barrier posts to fail due to impact
Therefore length of barrier over which failure of barrier posts occurs

From the above, it is considered that, approximately 16.5m length of barrier , 11 No's of barrier posts wo
