ACI 318-14 provisions for concrete breakout failure in shear include two equations for calculating the “ nominal concrete breakout strength ” in shear :
• Eq . ( 17.5.2.1a ) for calculating the nominal concrete breakout strength for a single anchor in shear ( V cb
)
• Eq . ( 17.5.2.1b ) for calculating the nominal concrete breakout strength for a group of anchors in shear ( V cbg
)
( b ) For shear force perpendicular to the edge on a group of anchors

( c ) For shear force parallel to an edge V cb or V cbg shall be permitted to be twice the value of the shear force determined from Eq . ( 17.5.2.1a ) or ( 17.5.2.1b ), respectively , with the shear force assumed to act perpendicular to the edge and with ψ ed , V taken equal to 1.0 .
( d ) For anchors located at a corner , the limiting nominal concrete breakout strength shall be determined for each edge , and the minimum value shall be used .
PROFIS Engineering includes an additional modification factor ( ψ parallel , V
) in Eq . ( 17.5.2.1a ) and Eq .
( 17.5.2.1b ).

PROFIS Engineering calculations for shear load acting at a corner .
Concrete breakout in shear is calculated for shear load acting towards ( i . e . perpendicular to ) a fixed edge . If shear load acts parallel to a fixed edge , Section 17.5.2.1 ( c ) requires V cb or V cbg to be calculated as if the shear load acts towards the fixed edge , and the value calculated for V cb or V cbg to be doubled . The PROFIS Engineering parameter that is designated in the report as “ ψ parallel , V
” indicates whether the software is calculating concrete breakout for shear load acting towards a fixed edge ( ψ parallel , V
= 1.0 ) or parallel to a fixed edge ( ψ parallel , V
= 2.0 ).
If a shear load acts at an angle with respect to two fixed edges , Section 17.5.2.1 ( d ) requires V cb or V cbg to be calculated with respect to each fixed edge . The calculated value for V cb or V cbg is checked against the component of the shear load that acts towards each fixed edge . PROFIS Engineering calculates V cb or V cbg for load acting towards each fixed edge as well as load acting parallel to each fixed edge . The software then checks the calculated V cb or V cbg value for each load condition ( towards the edge and parallel to the edge ) against the resultant shear load rather than the shear load component acting on each edge . This is a conservative design assumption .
