strength of a headed anchor in tension. The side-face blowout strength of a headed anchor in<br />

tension represents the bearing strength of the concrete at the head of the anchor. Figure 3-7<br />

depicts the similarities in anticipated failure cones <strong>for</strong> the embedded pipe and plate section and<br />

the headed anchor configuration.<br />

Figure 3-7. Similarities of failure cones in side-face blowout of a headed anchor in tension and<br />

the embedded pipe and plate section in torsion<br />

The similarity in these failures shows that there requires little manipulation of the equation<br />

to determine the bearing strength <strong>for</strong> the embedded pipe and plate section. ACI 318-08 Appendix<br />

D determines the nominal side-face blowout strength of a headed anchor in tension (See Figure<br />

3-8) in Equation D-17 and is shown below as Equation 3-8.<br />
