Before diving into the concrete anchor bolt design calculation example for calculating anchor breakout strength in shear, please go through the problem statement and part-1, part-2, part-3, part-4 and part-5 of this series. The calculation exercise is carried out according to the ACI 318 appendix D codes. Calculation The code gives the following formula for finding out the break out strength in shear for a group of anchor bolts: Vcbg= (AVc/AVco)ec,V ed,V c,V cp,VVb..D-22

Where, Strength reduction factor for breakout strength and its value for non-reinforcement in tension is 0.70 Avc projected concrete failure area of the group of anchors, for calculation of strength in shear (in inch2) as approximated by a rectangle with edges bounded by 1.5*Ca1 (1.5*5 = 7.5 inch in our case) and the free edges of the concrete from the centerline of the anchors. We will calculate it little later. Ca1 Distance from the center of an anchor shaft to the edge of concrete in one direction (in inch). Refer Fig.1 below. Avco Total projected shear failure area approximated by a square bounded by 1.5*Ca1 (1.5*5 = 7.5 inch in our case) from the centerline of a anchor at all the sides. We will calculate it little later.

ec,V Modification factor for the anchor group loaded eccentrically in shear, in our case there is no eccentric loading , so ec,V=1. ed,V Modification factor for edge effect for the anchor group in shear, we will calculate it later. c,V Modification factor based on the presence and absence of crack in the concrete, in our case value of it = 1.. cp,V Modification factor for post weld types of anchor. For cast in place anchor cp,V = 1 Vb Basic concrete break out strength for a single anchor in shear, we will calculate it later.

Where, da = Diameter of the anchor bolt in inch., in our case it is . part-1 of this calculation. le = Length of the anchor inserted inside inch. Remember we have started with the 0.75 inch anchor in the inch.

fc = Specified compressive strength of the concrete, in our case fc=4000 psi (refer problem statement of part-1).

So, by putting all the values, the above equation (D -24) becomes Vb = (7* 0.75*[10/0.75] . lb

Now, from the equation

D-22, after putting all the values at right hand side,

Vcbg = (AVc/AVco)ec,V ed,V c,V cp,VVb = 0.7*(453.75/544.5)*1*0.79*1*1*23482.02 lb = . lb
