The allowable shear load, Bv, for headed and bent-bar

The design provisions for anchor bolts using the strength
design method is nearly identical to that used for allowable stress
design, with appropriate revisions to convert the requirements
to produce nominal axial tension and shear design strengths.
The strength reduction factors, f, for use in Equations 11
through 18 are taken equal to the following values:
when the nominal anchor strength is controlled by masonry
breakout, masonry crushing, or anchor pryout, f is taken
equal to 0.50,
when the nominal anchor strength is controlled by anchor
bolt yielding,f is taken equal to 0.90,
when the nominal amchor strength is controlled by anchor
pullout, f is taken equal to 0.65.

Tension
The nominal axial tensile strength, Ban, for headed and
bent-bar anchor bolts is taken as the smaller of Equation 11,
nominal axial tensile strength governed by masonry breakout,
and Equation 12, nominal axial tensile strength governed by
anchor yielding. For bent-bar anchors, the nominal axial tensile
strength must also be less than that determined by Equation
13 for anchor pullout.

Using Equation 1, one can determine the area of tensile
breakout for each bolt to be 113.10 in2 (729.68 cm2), however
due to the proximity of the bolts to one another, there is an
overlap in projected breakout area. To account for this, one
must reduce the projected breakout area by one half of the
overlap area when analyzing an individual bolt. The modified
projected area for each bolt becomes:

For this example, the axial tensile strength is controlled
by the masonry breakout strength, Bab.
Similarly, to determine the allowable shear strength, one
would typically calculate the shear breakout area for each anchor. For this particular example, given the direction of shear
loading and large edge distance, masonry shear breakout will
not be the governing failure mode. Calculated strengths for
masonry crushing (Equation 7), anchor pryout (Equation 8),
and anchor yielding (Equation 9) are as follows:
Bvc = 350 4 2, 000(0.142) = 1, 437 lb (6.39 kN)
Bvpry = 2.5(90.00) 2, 000 = 10,173 lb (45.24 kN)
With the demand to capacity ratio less than 1.0, the design is
satisfied.
In this instance, shear strength of each anchor is controlled
by the masonry crushing strength, Bvc.
Checking the combined loading effects for an individual
anchor against Equation 10 yields the following:
