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 .
Per ACI 318-14 Section 17.5.2.2 , the l e value for anchor elements that have a constant stiffness over their embedded depth equals the smaller of the anchor element effective embedment depth ( h ef
), and eight times the nominal diameter of the anchor element ( d a
). The cast-in anchors in the PROFIS Engineering portfolio and all post-installed anchors except the HSL-3 expansion anchor have a constant stiffness over their embedded depth .
Per ACI 318-14 Section 17.5.2.2 , the l e value for anchor elements that do not have a constant stiffness over their embedded depth equals 2d a
. HSL-3 expansion anchors have a “ distance sleeve ” that is separated from the expansion wedges ; therefore , l e
= 2d a these anchors . PROFIS Engineering uses the pre-calculated l e values given in Table 3 of ICC-ESR-1545 when HSL-3 anchors are being modeled . These l e values correspond to two times the anchor external diameter ( d a ). Values for d a are also given in Table 3 of ICC-ESR-1545 .
