Holes, excerpt (AISC, 2011)9. (Q2) Recalculate Anchor Bolt Diameters and Plate Thickness under Alternative Scenario. Students are asked to recalculate the bolt diameters and plate thickness under a new scenario in which the pole is assumed to undergo impact due to a collision with a truck. Using an equivalent static force V = 400 Kip as per AASHTO 201010 that represents an isolated special load of truck collision at the bottom of the post, students were required to design the number and diameter of anchor bolts based on a the equivalent direct lateral shear strength resisted by the bolt cross sections (Figure 2e), and the plate thickness using similar reasoning as above. For this case, Figure 2e. ASTM the maximum number of

. Caldwell’s primary research ex- periences included the development of design methods for lightweight systems (BMW Manufacturing Co.) and modeling the functionality and interactions of mechanical systems to support conceptual de- sign (National Science Foundation). Prior to his graduate work, Dr. Caldwell gained design experience working at Electrolux Major Appliances on a team designing and developing consumer bottom-mount refrigerators. Among other awards, Dr. Caldwell received the Graduate Teaching Fellowship from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Departmental Doctoral and Masters Awards in Me- chanical Engineering from Clemson University, and the R.C. Edwards Graduate Recruiting Fellowship from

of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Besides teaching both undergraduate and graduate design and education related classes at Stanford University, she conducts research on engineering education and work-practices, and applied finite element analysis. From 1999-2008 she served as a Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, leading the Foundation’s engineering study (as reported in Educating Engineers: Designing for the Future of the Field). In addition, in 2003 Dr. Sheppard was named co-principal investigator on a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to form the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE), along with faculty at the University of
