Reduction for Seismic Tension α N , seis - 0.88 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.97 1.0 α N , seis is a seismic modification factor that is used to calculate the basic bond strength of an adhesive anchor ( N ba
). Values for α N , seis are derived from testing per the ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC308 . α N , seis
-values are specific to the adhesive product , the anchor element being used with that product , and the anchor element diameter . Values for α N , seis are given in the ICC-ESR for an adhesive anchor system .
The parameter N ba corresponds to a calculated bond strength for a single adhesive anchor element without any fixed edge or spacing influences . Calculation of N ba is predicated on the characteristic bond stress of the adhesive product ( т cr or т uncr
), and the anchor element geometry ( πd a and h ef
), where da corresponds to the nominal diameter of the anchor element and h ef corresponds to the effective embedment depth that has been input into PROFIS Engineering for the selected anchor element . Calculation of N ba also includes a modification factor for lightweight concrete ( λ a
).
Adhesive anchor systems can be shown compliance to under the International Building Code ( IBC ) via testing per AC308 . AC308 references the ACI test standard for qualifying adhesive anchor systems ( ACI 355.4 ), but ACI 355.4 does not include any provisions for determining α N , seis
. Since ACI 355.4 does not reference α N , seis ,
ACI 318 anchoring-to-concrete provisions do not reference α N , seis . However , since
AC308 does include provisions for determining α N , seis
, adhesive anchor systems shown compliance to per AC308 to receive recognition under the IBC include α N , seis as a parameter for calculating N ba
. PROFIS Engineering uses the α N , seis
-values given in the ICC-ESR for an adhesive anchor system to calculate N ba . The PROFIS Engineering report therefore shows α N , seis in the Variables section , and as a parameter for calculating N ba in the
Equations section .
Reference the Variables section of the PROFIS Engineering report for more information on the following parameters :
λ a
: Lightweight concrete modification factor
т k , xxxx
: Characteristic bond stress for cracked or uncracked concrete
d a
: Anchor element diameter
h ef
: Effective embedment depth that has been selected for the anchor being modeled
Reference the Calculations section of the PROFIS Engineering report for more information on the parameter N ba

1 Bond strength values correspond to concrete compressive strength f ́c = 2500 psi . For concrete compressive strength f ́c between 2500 psi and 800 psi , the tabulated characteristic bond strength may be increased by a factor of ( f ́c / 2500 ) 0 . 1 .
2 Temperature Range A : Maximum short term temperature = 130 ° F , Maximum long term temperature = 110 ° F . Temperature Range B : Maximum short term temperature = 176 ° F , Maximum long term temperature = 110 ° F . Temperature Range C : Maximum short term temperature = 248 ° F , Maximum long term temperature = 162 ° F . Short term elevated concrete temperatures are those which occur over brief intervals , e . g . as a result of diurnal cycling . Long term concrete temperatures are roughly constant over significant periods of time .
