17.2.6 Modification factor λ a for lightweight concrete shall be taken as :
Cast-in and undercut anchor concrete failure ……………….…. 1.0 λ where λ is determined in accordance with 19.2.4 .
17.2.7 The values of f ́c used for calculation purposes in this chapter shall not exceed 10,000 psi for cast-in anchors ………………
Side-face blowout is a tension failure mode that can occur when anchors are installed at a “ deep ” embedment ( h ef
> 2.5c a1 ), near a fixed edge ( c a1
). In lieu of concrete breakout or pullout occurring , the applied tension load creates lateral bursting stresses at the head of the anchors which cause the concrete to “ blow out ” at the face of the fixed edge . The parameter h ef corresponds to the embedded portion of the anchor that is “ effective ” in transferring tension load from the anchor into the concrete . The parameter ca1 corresponds to the nearest fixed edge , where side-face blowout is assumed to occur .
Side-face blowout is a possible failure mode for cast-in anchors . Splitting failure , rather than side-face blowout , is a more common failure mode for post-installed anchors ; however , side-face blowout could possibly occur with undercut anchors . PROFIS Engineering does not consider side-face blowout for the HDA-P and HDA-T undercut anchors in its portfolio because it will not be a controlling tension failure mode for these anchors . PROFIS Engineering only performs side-face blowout calculations for the cast-in anchors in its portfolio .
When modeling a group of anchors in tension , the side-face blowout strength for a single anchor ( N sb
) is calculated , and modified by the factor ( 1 + s / 6c a1 ). PROFIS
Engineering designates this factor “ α group
”. The parameter “ s ” corresponds to the distance between the outer anchors ( e . g . s y1
+ s y2 in the illustration to the left ) along the fixed edge being considered for side-face blowout . PROFIS Engineering limits the value of “ s ” to “ 6c a1
”; which means that PROFIS Engineering permits “ α group ” values in the range : 1.0 < α group
< 2.0 The modification factor “ α corner
” is not used to calculate N sbg
.
The PROFIS Engineering cast-in anchor portfolio is 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 ) λ a is a modification factor for lightweight concrete . f ’ c corresponds to the concrete compressive strength .
