The maximum pullout force must not exceed the factored tensile capacity :
( ) ( )
which is not possible in this case since there is only 3 m of grouted length.
Figure 4 shows the critical factor of safety and slip surface. The factor of safety is 1.337. The maximum
pullout force was governed by the factored pullout resistance and is therefore calculated from the
available length of 3.0 m (View | Object Information) as:
() ⁄ ( )
per meter in the out-of-plane dimension. Both red boxes are inside the end of the anchor indicating that
the entire grouted sections are behind the slip surface.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the free body diagram and force polygon for Slices 12 and 22 that are
intersected by the upper and lower anchors, respectively. The free body diagrams show the pullout force
of 300 kN concentrated at the base of the slices.
View | Object information can be used to view the inputs and calculations for each individual anchor
(Figure 7). The governing component for both anchors is indicated as the (factored) pullout resistance
(versus the tensile capacity).

Figure 8 shows the shear resistance along the slip surface (Draw | Graph). The shear resistance spikes at
slices 12 and 22 where the pullout forces are concentrated.
