This article tackles the design consideration of anchoring to concrete under shear loadings. This is the part
two of the previous article, Anchoring to Concrete: Tensile Loadings.
As summarized in the previous article, the Strength design of anchors shall be check and satisfy the
following criteria:
1. Tension Loadings
A. Steel strength of anchor in tension
B. Concrete breakout strength of anchor in tension
C. Pull out strength in tension
D. Concrete side face blowout strength of headed anchor in tension
E. Bond Strength of adhesive anchor in tension
2. Shear Loadings
A. Steel strength of anchor in shear
B. Concrete breakout strength of anchor in shear
C. Concrete pry out strength of anchor in shear

For cast-in headed bolts or hooked bolts anchors and post-installed anchors ( 17.5.1.2b)
where:
For shear force parallel to an edge, or shall be permitted to be twice the value of the shear force determined
from above two equations, 17.5.2.1a and 17.5.2.1b.
For anchors located at corners, the concrete breakout strength shall be determined for each edge with the minimum value
to use.

are as follows:
1.4 for anchors located in a region of a concrete member where analysis indicates no cracking at
service load
For anchors located in a region of a concrete member where analysis indicates cracking at service load
1.0 for anchors in cracked concrete with edge reinforcements smaller than no. 4 bar
1.2 for anchors in cracked concrete with edge reinforcements of a no. 4 bar
1.4 for anchors in cracked concrete with edge reinforcements of a no. 4 bar or greater between the
anchor and the edge
where:
For and , refer to Concrete breakout strength of anchor in tension (17.4.2) in the previous article
Anchoring to Concrete: Tensile Loadings .
Further checks for both tension and shear loadings has to be performed in accordance with the Interaction of
Tensile and Shear Forces for combined shear in Vy&Vz direction and the combined ratio of bi-shear
that should not be more than 1.2.
