A Na is a modification factor that accounts for the area of influence assumed to develop in concrete , with respect to bond failure , when a tension load is applied to a single adhesive anchor or a group of adhesive anchors . A Na is calculated with the edge conditions and anchor spacing that have been input into the PROFIS Engineering model . The geometry for A Na is defined by projected distances from the anchors that are in tension . The maximum projected distance from an anchor that is considered when calculating A Na is limited to c Na , where c Na is defined by Equation ( 17.4.5.1d ) in Section 17.4.5.1 . Therefore , the maximum edge distance parameter used to calculate A Na equals c Na , and the maximum spacing parameter used to calculate A Na equals a projected distance of c Na on either side of the anchor ; or 2.0c Na . The figure below illustrates how A Na is calculated for a group of four anchors in tension with fixed edge distances in the -x and + y directions equal to c a1 and c a2 , respectively ; and spacing parameters in the x and y directions equal to s 1 and s 2
, respectively . Both c a1 and c a2 are assumed to be less than the value for c Na calculated per Equation ( 17.4.5.1d ). When modeling the parameter A Na
, if no fixed edge is present for a given direction , or the fixed edge distance is greater than the value calculated for c Na
, the maximum projected distance from an anchor ( s ) with respect to that direction is assumed to equal c Na
. For the application illustrated below , there are no fixed edges in the + x and -y directions ; therefore , the maximum projected distance in those directions that is used to model A Na equals c Na
.
Since the maximum projected distance from an anchor that is considered when modeling A Na equals c Na , anchors spaced greater than 2.0c Na from one another would not be considered to act as a group with respect to that spacing . For the illustration below , both s 1 and s 2 are assumed to be less than 2.0c Na
.
A Na
= ( c a1 + s 1
+ c Na ) ( c a2
+ s 2 + c Na
) where : c min < ( c a1 and c a2 ) < c Na s min
< ( s 1 and s 2
) < 2.0c Na
Adhesive anchor values for c min and s min are established via testing per the ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC308 , and the ACI test standard ACI 355.4 . These values are given in the ICC-ESR for the adhesive anchor system .
