Simpson Strong-Tie Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry

Example Calculations Mechanical Anchors (ACI 318 App. D / ICC-ES AC193)


Example calculation for a single Strong-Bolt 2
anchor using SD:

1,600 lb.
560 lb.

Determine if a single 12" diameter carbon-steel Strong-Bolt 2 torquecontrolled expansion anchor with a minimum 3 78" embedment
(hef = 3 38 inches) installed 4" from the edge of a 12" deep spandrel
beam is adequate for a strength level tension load of 1,600 lb. for wind
and a reversible strength level shear load of 560 lb. for wind. The anchor
will be in the tension zone, away from other anchors in fc = 3,000 psi
normal-weight concrete.

Reference the appropriate tables in this catalog for Strong-Bolt 2 anchor


performance values as determined from testing in accordance with ACI
355.2 and ICC-ES AC193.
REFERENCE

Note: Calculations are performed in accordance with ACI 318-11.


1. Determine the factored tension
and shear design loads:

ACI 318, 9.2.1

Nua = 1.0W = 1.0 x 1,600 = 1,600 lb.


Vua = 1.0W = 1.0 x 560 = 560 lb.
2. Design considerations:

D.4.1.1

This is a combined tension and shear interaction


problem where values for both Nn and Vn need
to be determined. Nn is the lesser of the design
tension strength controlled by: steel (Nsa),
concrete breakout (Ncb), or pull-out (nNpn).
Vn is the lesser of the design shear strength
controlled by: steel (Vsa), concrete breakout
(Vcb), or pryout (Vcp).
