ACI 318-14 strength design provisions for concrete breakout failure in shear require calculation of a nominal concrete breakout strength ( V cb or V cbg
). The nominal strength is multiplied by a strength reduction factor ( ϕ-factor ) to obtain a design strength ( ϕV cb or ϕV cbg
). Design strength is checked against a factored shear load , defined by the parameter “ V ua
”. Chapter 2 in ACI 318-14 gives the following definitions for the factored shear load parameter “ V ua
”.
• V ua
= factored shear force applied to a single anchor or group of anchors ( lb )
• V ua , i
= factored shear force applied to most highly stressed anchor in a group of anchors ( lb )
• V ua , g
= total factored shear force applied to anchor group ( lb ) The design concrete breakout strength for a single anchor in shear ( ϕV cb
) calculated per Section 17.5.2 is checked against the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which is designated “ V ua
” in Table 17.3.1.1 . If ϕV cb ≥ V ua
, the provisions for considering concrete breakout failure in shear have been satisfied per Table 17.3.1.1 .
The design concrete breakout strength for a group of anchors in shear ( ϕV cbg
) calculated per Section 17.5.2 is checked against the total factored shear load acting on the anchors that are in shear , which is designated “ V ua , g
” in Table
17.3.1.1 . If ϕV cbg ≥ V ua , g
, the provisions for considering concrete breakout failure in shear have been satisfied per Table 17.3.1.1 .
The PROFIS Engineering report uses the generic designation “ V ua
” to define the factored shear load being checked against the calculated design concrete breakout strength ϕV cb or ϕV cbg
. The PROFIS Engineering Load Engine permits users to input service loads that will then be factored per IBC factored load equations . Users can also import factored load combinations via a spreadsheet , or input factored load combinations directly on the main screen . PROFIS Engineering users are responsible for inputting shear loads . The software only performs shear load checks per Table 17.3.1.1 if shear loads have been input via one of the load input functionalities .
If a single anchor in shear is being modeled , PROFIS Engineering calculates the parameter ϕV cb
, and checks this value against either ( a ) the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which has been calculated using the loads input via the Load Engine , ( b ) the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which has been calculated using the loads imported from a spreadsheet or ( c ) the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which has been calculated using the loads input in the matrix on the main screen . The value for V ua shown in the report corresponds to the factored shear load determined to be acting on the anchor .
If a group of anchors in shear is being modeled , PROFIS Engineering calculates the parameter ϕV cbg
, and checks this value against either ( a ) the total factored shear load acting on the anchor group , which has been calculated using the loads input via the Load Engine , ( b ) the total factored shear load acting on the anchor group , which has been calculated using the loads imported from a spreadsheet or ( c ) the total factored shear load acting on the anchor group , which has been calculated using the loads input in the matrix on the main screen . The value for V ua shown in the report corresponds to the total factored shear load determined to be acting on the anchor group .
