Example of Concrete Anchor Bolt Design Calculation –
Part2: Determining Concrete Breakout Strength of
Anchor in Tension
We will discuss how to calculate the concrete breakout strength according to the ACI 318 code in
this part of the concrete anchor foundation bolt design calculation example. Please refer part1 of
the calculation to understand the design problem statement and the calculations for the anchor
bolt materials strength.
If you refer the Fig.1 and the Fig.2 of the problem statement then it will clear to you that the
distance between two surrounding anchors (in our case it is 6 inch) is less than three times the
effective embedment depth (in our case it is 10 inch). So, as per ACI codes, the anchor
arrangement can be termed as group and the ACI formula for calculating the concrete breakout
strength for the anchor group is:
φNcbg= (ANc/ANco)ψec,N ψed,N ψc,N ψcp,NNb……………………………..D5
Where,
Φ – Strength reduction factor for breakout strength and its value for nonreinforcement in tension
is 0.70
ANc –Total projected area for the group of anchors of the failure surface as approximated by a
rectangle with edges bounded by 1.5hef (1.5*10 = 15 inch in our case) and the free edges of the
concrete from the centerline of the anchors. Confused? You will be clearer while calculating it little
later.
hef – Effective embedment depth of anchor (in our case it is 10 inch).
ANco – Total projected failure area approximated by a square bounded by 1.5hef (1.5*10 = 15 inch
in our case) from the centerline of the anchors at all the sides.
ψec,N – Modification factor for the anchor group loaded eccentrically in tension, in our case there is
no eccentric loading , so ψec,N=1.
ψed,N – Modification factor for edge effect for the anchor group in tension, we will calculate it later.
Ψc,N – Modification factor based on the presence and absence of crack in the concrete, we will
calculate it later.
ψcp,N – Modification factor for post weld types of anchor. For cast in place anchor ψcp,N = 1

Nb – Basic concrete break out strength for a single anchor in tension, we will calculate it later.
Calculation of ANc
Before going to the calculation please refer the plan view of the anchor arrangement as below:
Fig.2.1: Anchor Bolt Plan for calculating Anc
ANC =Area of the square shown in dotted line
= (15+6+5)*(15+6+5) = 676 Square Inch
Calculation of ANco
Before going to the calculation please refer the plan view of the anchor arrangement as below:

Fig.2.2: Anchor Bolt Plan for calculating Anco
ANC =Area of the square shown in dotted line
= (15+15)*(15+15) = 900 Square Inch
Calculation of ψed,N
If, Ca,min (minimum distances between two anchors, 6 inch in our case) is less than 1.5 times the hef (1.5*10=15 inch in our
case) then
ψed,N = 0.7+(0.3*Ca,min)/(1.5*hef)
= 0.7+(0.3*6)/(1.5*10)
= 0.82
Calculation of ψc,N
According to the code the value of ψc,N =1 where concrete crack is likely to occur.
Calculation of Nb
Nb= kc λ hef1.5 fc’ …………………D7
Where,
Kc – a factor which has value of 24 for cast in concrete.
λ – A factor related to the reduced mechanical properties of concrete, for normal weight concrete λ=1
hef – Effective embedment depth of anchor (in our case it is 10 inch).
fc’ – Specified compressive strength of the concrete, in our case fc’=4000 psi (refer problem statement)
So, by putting the value in D7 we get:
Nb =24*1*10^1.5*4000^0.5

02/04/2016 Concrete Anchor Foundation Bolt Design Calculations with Example as per ACI 318 Appendix DPart2Breakout Strength in Tension
= 48000 lb
Now, by putting all the values in D5 we get the Concrete breakout strength for the anchor group
φNcbg =(ANc/ANco)ψec,N ψed,N ψc,N ψcp,NNb
= 0.70*(676/900)*1*0.82*1*1*48000
= 20694.6131 lb
So, finally we got the concrete break out strength of the anchor group in tension as 20694.6131 lb. In the next part (Part3) of
the foundation anchor bolt design calculation example, we will discuss about calculating the concrete pull out force in
tension.

according to the commentary, ca,min is the minimum edge distance, not the minimum distance between bolts as you
stated above.

Ashe is correct ca,min =5″ and f’c =3500 psi as per problem statement also eqn D7 is missing sq rt symbol for f’c .
calculation correctly shows this.
