Actual hef for HDA-T is given by hef,min + (t - tpl) where t is given in Table 1 and tpl is the thickness of the part(s) being fastened.

See ACI 318-05 Section D.4.4.

For use with the load combinations of ACI 318-05 Section 9.2. Condition A applies where the potential concrete failure surfaces are crossed
by supplementary reinforcement proportioned to tie the potential concrete failure prism into the structural member. Condition B applies where
such supplementary reinforcement is not provided, or where pullout or pryout strength governs.

See ACI 318-02 Section D.5.2.2 and Section 4.1.2 of this report.

See Section 4.1.4 of this report.

For HDA-T see Table 6.

See Section 4.1.11 of this report.

Splitting failure under external load does not govern the resistance of the HDA. In lieu of ACI 318 Section D.5.2.7, the modification factor for
edge effects must be computed in accordance with ACI 318 Section D.5.2.5. Ca,min must be equal to or greater than Cmin reported in Table 5.
10
Minimum axial stiffness values, maximum values may be 3 times larger (e.g. due to high strength concrete)
11
To calculate the basic concrete breakout strength Vb, l equals hef . In no cases shall le exceed 8do. See ACI 318-05 Section D.6.2.2.
