2 Concrete Anchorage for Tensile Forces


It is presumed that ASCE 7 load factors are employed in this
Guide. The φ factors used herein correspond to those in Ap-
pendix D4.4 and Section 9.3 of ACI 318-02.
Appendix D of ACI 318-02 (ACI, 2002) addresses the
anchoring to concrete of cast-in or post-installed expansion
or undercut anchors. The provisions include limit states for
concrete pullout, and breakout strength [concrete capacity
design (CCD) method].
Concrete Pullout Strength
ACI concrete pullout strength is based on the ACI Appendix
D provisions (Section D5.3):
φNP = φψ4Abrg8fc′
where
Np = the nominal pullout strength
φ = 0.7

ψ4 = 1.4 if the anchor is located in a region of a


concrete member where analysis indicates no
cracking (ft – fr) at service levels, otherwise ψ4 =
1.0
Abrg = the bearing area of the anchor rod head or nut,
and fc′ is the concrete strength
Shown in Table 3.2 are design pullout strengths for anchor
rods with heavy hex head nuts. The 40% increase in strength
has not been included. Notice that concrete pullout never
controls for anchor rods with Fy = 36 ksi, and concrete with
fc′ = 4 ksi. For higher strength anchor rods, washer plates
may be necessary to obtain the full strength of the anchors.
The size of the washers should be kept as small as possible
to develop the needed concrete strength. Unnecessarily large
washers can reduce the concrete resistance to pull out.
Hooked anchor rods can fail by straightening and pulling
out of the concrete. This failure is precipitated by a local-
ized bearing failure of the concrete above the hook. A hook
is generally not capable of developing the required tensile
strength. Therefore, hooks should only be used when tension
in the anchor rod is small.

Appendix D of ACI 318-02 provides a pullout strength


for a hooked anchor of φψ4(0.9fc′ehdo), which is based on an
anchor with diameter do bearing against the hook extension
of eh; φ is taken as 0.70. The hook extension is limited to a
maximum of 4.5do; ψ4 = 1 if the anchor is located where the
concrete is cracked at service load, and ψ4 = 1.4 if it is n
