Detailing for Increased Breakout Capacity of Steel Anchor Rods in Concrete Podium Slabs
Multi-story light-frame structures are often built atop concrete podiums. In areas of high seismicity the overturning restraint system used to secure shear walls in these buildings can produce very high tension demands on the concrete anchorage components of these systems; in fact, full-scale shake table testing has measured forces in excess of 100 kips. While the loads can be high, podium slabs tend to be fairly shallow (14
