Hooked anchors/L-bolts in AISC
It is possible to define the L-shaped / J-shaped or hooked anchor bolt when using the AISC code. For this type of anchor, the pullout resistance is checked.
In the design and check of footings, an AISC project can consider a hook type of anchor for the foundation concrete block.
The L-shaped anchors can be defined either in the base plate or in the fastener grid or contact operations.
The hook length must be at least three times the anchor diameter, as per ACI 318-19 - 17.6.3.2.2. A warning appears when this condition is not met.
You can find the concrete pullout resistance check as per ACI in the report. For more information about the checking of anchors and a concrete block according to AISC, go to Check of steel connection components (AISC).
