f ́c
17.3.1 The value of f ́c used for calculation purposes in this chapter shall not exceed 10,000 psi for cast-in anchors , and 8000 psi for post-installed anchors . Post-installed anchors shall not be used in concrete with a strength greater than 8000 psi without testing to verify acceptable performance .
17.6.2.2.1 Basic concrete breakout strength of a single anchor in tension in cracked concrete , N b , shall be calculated by Eq . ( 17.6.2.2.1 ), except as permitted in 17.6.2.2.3

17.6.2.2.3 For single cast-in headed studs and headed bolts with 11 in . ≤ h ef ≤ 25 in ., N b
, shall be calculated by :
N b
= 16λ a ƒ ́c h ef
5 / 3
( 17.6.2.2.3 ) ƒ ́c is a parameter used to define concrete compressive strength . This parameter is used to calculate the “ basic concrete breakout strength in tension ” ( N b
) when calculating the nominal concrete breakout strength in tension ( N cb or N cbg
).
Post-installed mechanical anchors can be qualified for recognition under the International Building Code via testing per the ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC193 in conjunction with the ACI standard ACI 355.2 .
Post-installed adhesive anchor systems can be qualified for recognition under the International Building Code via testing per the ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC308 in conjunction with the ACI standard ACI 355.4 . ƒ ́c provisions for a specific post-installed anchor are derived from this testing and will be given in the ICC-ES evaluation report ( ESR ) for the anchor . PROFIS Engineering uses these ƒ ́c provisions for post-installed anchor design . The post-installed anchor portfolio in PROFIS Engineering is limited to installation in concrete having a specified compressive strength between 2500 psi and 8500 psi , and design using an ƒ ́c-value less than or equal to 8000 psi . Reference the ESR for ƒ ́c information
specific to a post-installed anchor .
PROFIS Engineering users can input an ƒ ́c-value within the range 2500 psi ≤ ƒ ́c ≤ 8500 psi for post-installed anchor design . The maximum ƒ ́c-value for calculations will be limited to 8000 psi .
PROFIS Engineering users can input an ƒ ́c-value within the range 2500 psi ≤ ƒ ́c ≤ 10,000 psi for cast-in-place anchor design . The maximum ƒ ́c-value for calculations will be limited to 10,000 psi .
