ACI 318-14 Chapter 2 defines the parameter V b as the “ basic concrete breakout strength in shear of a single anchor in cracked concrete ”. V b calculated using Eq . ( 17.5.2.2a ) can be considered relevant for anchors that are not rigidly attached to the fixture , i . e . an annular space exists between the anchor element and the hole in the fixture through which the anchors are located . V b calculated using Eq . ( 17.5.2.2b ) is a limiting value . PROFIS Engineering calculates V b using both equations , and shows the controlling equation in the Equations section of the report , and the V b
-value calculated using the controlling equation in the Calculations section .
Consider a single anchor installed near a fixed edge with a shear load acting on the anchor towards that edge . Assuming there are no fixed edges perpendicular to the direction of the applied shear load , and the concrete has an “ infinite ” thickness ; if concrete breakout occurs , it could be defined by the calculated capacity V b using either
Eq . ( 17.5.2.2a ) or Eq . ( 17.5.2.2b ). V b is calculated using both equations and the smaller calculated value is used to calculate the nominal concrete breakout strength in shear ( V cb or V cbg ). Geometry influences are considered via the parameters A vc , ψ ed , V and ψ h , V
. Reference the Design Guide sections for these parameters for more information .

ACI 318 anchoring-to-concrete provisions define the parameter l e as the “ load bearing length of anchor for shear ”. This “ length ” corresponds to the embedded portion of an anchor element that is effective in transferring shear load into a concrete member . For anchor elements that have a constant stiffness over their embedded depth , l e equals the smaller of the anchor element effective embedment depth ( h ef ) and eight times the nominal diameter of the anchor element ( d a
). For anchor elements that do not have a constant stiffness over their embedded depth ( i . e . “ anchors with a distance sleeve separated from expansion sleeve ”), the l e value equals 2d a
