Case 1 : One assumption of the distribution of forces indicates that half of the shear force would be critical on the front anchor and the projected area . For the calculation of concrete breakout , c a1 is taken as c a1 , 1 .
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 . When calculating V b with this equation , the value for c a1 can be determined from the near-edge anchors per Case 1 or Case 3 in the ACI 318-14 commentary Fig . R17.5.2.1b . V b calculated using Eq . ( 17.5.2.2b ) is a limiting value . If calculating V b with Eq . ( 17.5.2.2a ), the value for c a1 used in that equation would also be used to calculate V b with Eq . ( 17.5.2.2b ). For all of the post-installed anchors in the PROFIS Engineering portfolio , and all of the cast-in anchors except AWS D1.1 headed studs ; PROFIS Engineering calculates V b using Eq . ( 17.5.2.2a ) and Eq . ( 17.5.2.2b ), and shows the lesser V b -value in the Calculations section of the report .
V b calculated using Eq . ( 17.5.2.3 ) is only relevant for anchors that are rigidly attached to the fixture , e . g . a welded head stud . When calculating V b with this equation , the value for c a1 can be determined from the far-edge anchors per Case 2 in the ACI 318-14 commentary Fig . R17.5.2.1b . If calculating V b with Eq . ( 17.5.2.3 ), the value for c a1 used in that equation would also be used to calculate V b with Eq .
( 17.5.2.2b ). PROFIS Engineering only calculates V b using Eq . ( 17.5.2.3 ) for the AWS D1.1 headed studs in its anchor portfolio , and checks this value against V b calculated per Eq . ( 17.5.2.2b ). The lesser V b
-value is shown in the Calculations section of the report .
