Figure 3-8. Concrete side-face blowout equation <strong>for</strong> a headed anchor in tension<br />

The constant 160 from Equation 3-8 was determined from a 5% fractile in cracked<br />

concrete and is used to determine the nominal strength. By removing the safety factor attached to<br />

the 5% fractile and the cracked concrete, the constant <strong>for</strong> the mean side-face blowout strength of<br />

a single headed anchor in uncracked concrete loaded in tension is 200 (13). The mean side-face<br />

blowout strength of a single headed anchor in uncracked concrete is described in Equation 3-9,<br />

as shown below.<br />

The modifications necessary to Equation 3-9 to account <strong>for</strong> the embedded pipe and plate<br />

section was to substitute Abrg from the bearing area of the head of the anchor bolt to the bearing<br />

area of the plate and substitute the rectangular concrete’s edge distance ca1 to the cylindrical<br />

concrete’s edge distance ca1 (See Equation 3-4). The equivalent torsional strength was derived<br />

using Nsb and multiplying it by the number of plates and moment arm, which is equivalent to the<br />

radius of the pipe. See Equation 3-10 <strong>for</strong> how to calculate the torsional strength using Nsb.<br />
