inclined rock anchor
i need to calculate the pullout capacity of 1" anchor rod embedded 10' inside the rock.
the anchor rod is inclined at 45 degrees to the horz.
my question is how do i take the rock cone volume for pullout in the case of inclined anchor?
i have previously dealt with vertical anchor rods in which case top of cone is horizontal.
any thoughts?
you will have to consult with a geologist.
