Obtuse Corner:
Acute Corner: Tension: To account for the influence of the adjacent corner
anchor channel, the corner distance is reduced by assuming
the concrete crack follows the path of least resistance and
considering the corner distance where the “crack” of each
anchor channel overlaps. For the concrete failure modes
in tension, the stresses in the concrete induced by the two
anchors of the anchor channels closer to the corner generates
a concrete cone with the radius of c cr,N . The distance between
the closest anchor heads is defined as x, as shown in the
Figure 9.2.10.18-a. These channels should be analyzed using
a fictitious c a2 of (x/2). To evaluate channel a and b the anchor
channel is modelled in Profis anchor channel software with c a2
of x/2. With limiting the edge the concrete breakout strength in
tension is reduced by the modification factor for corner effect
ψ co,N .

Perpendicular shear: For the concrete failure modes in shear,
the stresses in the concrete induced by the two anchors of
the anchor channels closer to the corner change the concrete
behavior. The concrete crack does not follow the idealized
failure plane (c cr,V ) but the path of least resistance. This concept
is illustrated in Figure 9.2.10.18-b. The fictitious edge can be
taken in between the distance (a+b) for analyzing the anchor
channel a and b depending on whichever anchor channel
needed more concrete. To evaluate channel a and b the anchor
channel is modelled with c a2 distance of in between distance
(a+b). With limiting the edge the concrete breakout strength in
shear is reduced by the modification factor for corner effect
ψ co,V . Channel a is evaluated using c a2,a1 and channel b can be
evaluated using c a2,b1 .

Obtuse angle corners with headed stud HAC channel loaded
only in tension or forces in all three directions: The distance
between the closest anchor heads is defined as x, as shown in
Figure 9.2.10.18-a. These channels should be analyzed using a
fictitious c a2 of (x/2).
Acute outside corners with headed stud HAC channel loaded
only in tension or in all three directions: The distance between
the closest anchor heads is defined as x, as shown in the Figure
