5.2.3.2 Steel failure b ) Shear load with lever arm
The characteristic resistance of an anchor , V Rk , s , is given by Equation ( 5.5 ). where
V Rk , s
= α M M Rk , s [ N ] ( 5.5 ) l α M
= see 4.2.2.4 l = lever arm according to Equation ( 4.2 )

4.2.2.4 Shear loads with lever arm
If the conditions a ) and b ) of 4.2.2.3 are not fulfilled the lever arm is calculated according to Equation ( 4.2 ) ( see Figure 4.8 )
with l = a 3 + e 1
( 4.2 ) e 1
= distance between shear load and concrete surface
a 3
= 0.5d a3 = 0 if a washer and a nut are directly clamped to the concrete surface ( see Figure 4.8b ) d = nominal diameter of the anchor bolt or thread diameter ( see Figure 4.8a )
PROFIS Engineering uses the provisions given in the European Technical Approval Guideline ( ETAG ) titled ETAG 001 Metal Anchors for Use in Concrete Annex C : Design Methods for Anchorages to consider bolt bending as a possible shear failure mode . The parameter “ l ” in ETAG 001 Equation ( 4.2 ) is designated “ L b
” in
PROFIS Engineering . “ L b
” corresponds to the “ lever arm ”, i . e . distance from where the shear resistance ( ϕV s
M in PROFIS Engineering ) acts , to the “ point of fixity ” where the internal bending moment ( M s in PROFIS Engineering ) acts . Bending develops within the anchor element when a shear load ( V ua in PROFIS Engineering ) acts on a fixture having stand-off . ETAG 001 Equation ( 5.5 ) can be modified as follows using PROFIS Engineering nomenclature :
nominal shear strength ( resistance ): ϕV s
M
= ϕ ( α M
M s
/ L b )
PROFIS Engineering assumes V ua and ϕV s
M act at the center of the fixture thickness . The distance from where V ua and ϕV s
M act to the surface of the concrete is defined as the parameter “ e 1
” in ETAG 001 Equation ( 4.2 ), and as “ z ” in
PROFIS Engineering .

ETAG 001 Annex C : Figure 4.8 Definition of lever arm 4.2.2.3 Shear loads without lever arm
Shear loads acting on anchors may be assumed to act without lever arm if both of the following conditions are fulfilled :
a ) The fixture shall be made of metal and in the area of the anchorage be fixed directly to the concrete either without an intermediate layer or with a levelling layer of mortar ( compression strength ≥ 30 N / mm 2 ) with a thickness ≤ d / 2 .
b ) The fixture shall be in contact with the anchor over its entire thickness .
