Abstract:
In Appendix D of ACI 318-08,1 the strength reduction factor (f) for tensile strength of mechanical anchors when the anchor is governed by concrete breakout, sideface blowout, or pullout strength varies depending on the anchor category. How do I determine what category the anchor I’m using falls into?
