With reference to the sketch, a bolting plan consisting of 5/8 in. (1.59 cm) diameter mechanically point anchored bolts spaced on 4 ft centers (1.22 m), square pattern, is proposed. Evaluate this plan from the dead weight view. Show why the plan is adequate or not, assume high strength. Would 3/4 in. (1.91 cm) diameter bolts on 5 ft (1.52 m) centers be adequate? Which Plan is preferable? Note: Spacing from the rib is one-half boltspacing.
