Mechanics of Materials i CE/AREN 2313 3. A steel plate in. thick is embedded in a horizontal concrete slab and is used to anchor a high-strength vertical cable as shown. The diameter of the hole in the 16 plate is 7 in, the ultimate strength of the steel used is 36 ksi, and the ultimate bonding stress between plate and safety of F.S. 3.60 is desired when P 2.5 kips, determine concrete is 300 psi. Knowing that a factor of (a) the required width a of the plate, (b) the minimum depth b to which a plate of that width should be embedded in the concrete slab. (Neglect the normal stresses between concrete and the bottom edge of the plate.) the Solution: in. in.
