Design strength;
E = 300 mm
fcu = 50 N/mm2
h = Dp - e1 = 260 mm
Assuming a rectangular compression block of width bpc, length x and intensity 0.6fcu then:From static equilibrium;
M = 0.6fcuBpcx(h-x/2) - Fc(h-Dp/2)
Factor a;
Factor b;
Constant c;
Tf = Cf - Fc = 150.2 kN
Therefore the bolts are in tension
m = L1 - e1 - 0.8swf = 28.6 mm
Moment in plate;
mt = Tf m = 4295572 Nmm
Lf = L1 - e1 = 35.0 mm
Plate thickness
Plate thickness required;
tp = 20 mm
PASS - Plate thickness provided is adequate (0.775)
Flange weld

Anchor plates
Force per anchor plate;
dh = 22 mm
Bearing capacity;
dbh = 30.0 mm
Bending capacity;
Ft = Tf = 150.2 kN
The clear distance between anchor plates is less than the embedment (E).
Aplan_eff = [sbolt(Nbolt/2-1)+bap](bap+2E)+E2+2bapE-
pt = 1.62 N/mm2
Pt = pt At_eff = 929.1 kN
PASS - Holding down bolt anchorage is adequate (0.162)

Pv = Cf = ;9; kN
WARNING - Friction alone is not adequate to resist applied shear force
