20 PNEG-1094 Farm Grain Bin - 4" Corrugation
Anchor Bolt Placement
1. Having poured and leveled the concrete, use the center stake and straight 2 x 4 again to find the bolt
circle radius for the outside hold-down brackets.
2. Select a starting point and stretch a pre-measured chord (“E” chord distance in Figure 5G ) along the
imaginary circle formed by the bolt circle radius. This will give you the bolt locations on the bolt
circle radius.
3. Take into consideration the placement of these bolts so as not to interfere with the positions of bin
doors and transitions. (Refer to following anchor bolt chart on Page 21 for necessary radius and
chord lengths.) Take the time and work carefully since accuracy is important.
NOTE: The top edge of slab where the bin wall sets must be held to within 1/8" of level.
