Figure 3-4. Shear breakout of a single anchor in rectangular concrete<br />

1.5ca1<br />

As FDOT Report BD545 RPWO #54 determined, the failure loading on the foundation’s<br />

anchor group was torsion (1). This torsion can be resolved into shear <strong>for</strong>ces acting parallel to an<br />

edge. ACI 318-08 prescribes in section D6.2.1 that the nominal concrete breakout strength of a<br />

single anchor loaded in shear parallel to an edge shall be permitted to be twice the value of the<br />

shear <strong>for</strong>ce determined as Vcb, which assumes shear loading perpendicular to an edge.<br />

Now that the basic equations <strong>for</strong> concrete breakout due to shear on anchor bolts have been<br />

established, it is appropriate to address the changes in these equations to satisfy the differences<br />

between the anchor breakout and the expected experimental breakout. The mean breakout
