If the loading on an adhesive anchor group is such that only some adhesive anchors are in tension , only those adhesive anchors that are in tension shall be considered when determining the eccentricity e ́N for use in Eq . ( 17.4.5.3 ) and for the calculation of N ag according to Eq . ( 17.4.5.1b ). In the case where eccentric loading exists about two orthogonal axes , the modification factor ,
ψ ec , Na
, shall be calculated for each axis individually and the product of these factors used as ψ ec , Na in Eq . ( 17.4.5.1b ).
When calculating nominal bond strength for a group of adhesive anchors in tension ( N ag
), ACI 318 anchoring-to-concrete provisions designate the modification factor for tension eccentricity “ ψ ec , Na
”. Per Section 17.4.5.3 , tension eccentricity can be considered with respect to the x and y directions . PROFIS Engineering designates the modification factor for tension eccentricity in the y direction “ ψ ec2 , Na
”. The parameter e c2 , N is a PROFIS Engineering parameter to define tension eccentricity with respect to the y direction using Eq . ( 17.4.5.3 ). PROFIS Engineering calculations for tension eccentricity with respect to the y direction are as follows :
• Calculate a resultant tension load acting on the anchors
• Calculate the distance in the y direction ( e c2 , N
) between this load and the centroid of the anchors loaded in tension
• Calculate a modification factor for tension eccentricity ( ψ ec2 , Na ) with respect to the y direction
If the resultant tension load acting on the anchorage is eccentric with respect to both the x and y directions ; PROFIS Engineering calculates the eccentricity for each direction ( e c1 , N with respect to the x direction and e c2 , N with respect to the y direction ), and the ψ ec , N modification factor for each direction ( ψ ec1 , Na for eccentricity with respect to the x direction and ψ ec2 , Na for eccentricity with respect to the y direction ). ψ ec1 , Na and ψ ec2 , Na are multiplied together to give a total modification factor for eccentricity per ACI 318-14 Section 17.4.5.3 .
