The parameter “ N p
” in Eq . ( 17.6.3.1 ) is defined as the “ pullout strength in tension ” for a single anchor . PROFIS Engineering calculates N p per Eq . ( 17.6.3.2.2a ) for the cast-in anchors in its portfolio . These anchors are as follows :
• AWS D1.1 Type B headed studs ( 1 / 2 ” — 7 / 8 ” nominal diameter )
• ASTM F1554 hex head bolt , Gr . 36 , Gr . 55 , Gr . 105 ( 1 / 2 ” — 1-1 / 2 ” nominal diameter )
• ASTM F1554 heavy hex head bolt , Gr . 36 , Gr . 55 , Gr . 105 ( 1 / 2 ” — 2 ” nominal diameter )
• ASTM F1554 square head bolt , Gr . 36 , Gr . 55 , Gr . 105 ( 1 / 2 ” — 1-1 / 2 ” nominal diameter )
• ASTM F1554 heavy square head bolt , Gr . 36 , Gr . 55 , Gr . 105 ( 1 / 2 ” — 1-1 / 2 ” nominal diameter )
J-bolts and L-bolts are not included in the PROFIS Engineering cast-in anchor portfolio .
PROFIS Engineering only utilizes the bearing area parameter ( A brg ) to calculate the parameter N p per Eq . ( 17.6.3.2.2a ) for the cast-in anchors in its portfolio . The
A brg
-values that PROFIS Engineering uses for these anchors are shown in the table to the left .
PROFIS Engineering does not calculate N p per Eq . ( 17.6.3.2.2a ) for the postinstalled anchors in its portfolio . Per Section 17.6.3.2.1 , N p
-values for postinstalled anchors must be derived from product-specific testing . Reference the post-installed anchor report sections relevant to pullout strength in tension for more information .
Reference the Calculations section of the cast-in anchor report for more information on the parameter N p
.
Reference the Variables section of the cast-in anchor report for more information on the following parameters :
A brg
: bearing area for a cast-in anchor . ƒ ́c : concrete compressive strength .
