Notes:
1. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or application of the Practice to
particular project or engineering situations should not be made solely on information contained in
these materials. All Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and
regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines should conflict
with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed. Consult
an appropriate professional before applying or acting on any material contained in or suggested by the
Practice.
2. This spreadsheet has been developed utilizing ACI 318M-19 Chapter 17, ASCE Anchorage Design
Report, and PIP STE05121. It will give shear and tensile capacities of an anchor or anchor group and
the concrete around the anchor or anchor group. It will also let the user know if the anchor
configuration is ductile. The user needs to use this spreadsheet in combination with ACI 318M-19
Chapter 17, and PIP STE05121. This spreadsheet merely saves the user time in laborious
calculations but is no substitute for the engineer’s expertise.
3. The spreadsheet works for any number of anchors in tension and/or shear.
4. For 1, 2, or 4 anchors in a rectangular pattern, this spreadsheet will calculate A Nc and AVc. For other
numbers of anchors and anchor patterns, the user needs to calculate and input A Nc and AVc. The
spreadsheet also may not handle side-face blowout properly for anchors that are not in a rectangular
pattern or if there are more than 4 anchors. The engineer will need to manually check side-face
blowout in these cases.
5. For tensile loads, if the engineer has 1, 2, or 4 anchors in a rectangular pattern, the engineer should
provide ca1 through ca4 and s1 and s2. For 1 anchor, s1 and s2 should be input as 0 (zero). For 2
anchors, either s1 or s2 should be input as 0. Note: only the anchors in tension shall be considered. If
there are anchors in shear only, ignore them. If the only failure mode in tension is pullout strength of
the anchor, then an additional plate added to the head or nut at the bottom of the anchor (anchor
plate) should be considered. (ACI 318M-19 sec 17.6.2.1.3 and PIP STE05121, Sec 5.6)
6. For shear loads ca1, ca2, ca4 and s2 are required inputs. ca1 could be different for shear than for tension.
For shear calculations, the spreadsheet applies the entire factored load to the location shown in the
input sheet sketch. For a typical 4-anchor rectangular pattern, the concrete shear capacity is the same
whether 2 or 4 anchors are input, as the shear capacity is proportional to A Vc not to the number of
anchors; however the steel shear capacity for 4 anchors would be twice that of 2 anchors. Entering c a1
as the distance from the pair of anchors closest to the leeward edge is conservative; entering the
distance to the windward anchors normally provides a larger capacity. Note: only the anchors in shear
shall be considered. If there are anchors in tension only, ignore them. If there is only one anchor (or 2
anchors in line of load), s2 = 0.
7. If the engineer is using rebar to resist either tensile or shear loads applied to the anchor, this needs to
be indicated in the spreadsheet. The rebar needs to develop the required strength on both sides of
the assumed breakout cone in accordance with ACI 318M. Use the strength reduction factor f = 0.75
in sizing the rebar. See ASCE Anchorage Design Report Section 3.5.2 and 3.5.3.
8. If adequate reinforcement is provided to resist tension, then the concrete breakout strength of the
anchor in tension will not be used in checking the anchor size. Note that if ductility is required, the
designer needs to size the anchor reinforcement for the full tensile concrete capacity of the anchor. If
this requirement is met and a ductile material is specified for the anchor, the anchor is automatically
ductile in tension.
9. If adequate reinforcement is provided to resist shear, then the concrete breakout strength of the
anchor in shear will not be used in checking the anchor size. Note that if ductility is required, the
designer needs to size the anchor reinforcement for the full shear concrete capacity of the anchor. If
this requirement is met and a ductile material is specified for the anchor, the anchor is automatically
ductile in shear.
Option (b): The anchor or anchor group needs to be designed for the maximum tension that
can be transmitted to the anchor or group based upon a ductile yielding mechanism in the
attachment to the anchor, e.g. a yielding base plate. See ACI 318M-19 R17.10.5.3
commentary related to strength of attachment. If this option is chosen, the engineer shall input
the maximum loads from the mechanism into the spread sheet. (Mark "no" for "ductility
required" on the Input Sheet.) The engineer will of course need to design the ductile yielding
mechanism.
Option (c): The anchor or anchor group shall be designed for the maximum tension that can be
transmitted to the anchors by a non-yielding attachment. The engineer needs to ascertain that
the non-yielding attachment meets the code that he or she is using. The engineer shall input
the maximum loads and mark "no" for ductility required on the Input Sheet.
Option (d): The portion of the factored design load that is due to earthquake (E) shall be
increased by the overstrength factor Ωo. This factor shall be determined from ASCE-7 or the
code that the engineer is using for the design. The engineer shall mark "no" for ductility
required on the Input Sheet.
b. Shear loads
i. If the shear load due to earthquake force is less than 20 percent of the total factored shear load,
no special provision for seismic loading is required.
ii. If the shear load is greater than 20 percent of the total factored shear load, one of the following
options shall be satisfied. Note that there is no option for designing the anchor as ductile in shear
(equivalent to option (a) for tensile loads). This is because the cross section of the steel element of
the anchor cannot be configured so that steel failure in shear provides any meaningful degree of
ductility. See Commentary R17.10.6.3.
Option (a): The anchor or anchor group needs to be designed for the maximum shear that can
be transmitted to the anchor or group based upon a ductile yielding mechanism in the
attachment to the anchor. If this option is chosen, the engineer shall input the maximum loads
from the mechanism into the spread sheet. The engineer will of course need to design the
ductile yielding mechanism.
Option (b): The anchor or anchor group shall be designed for the maximum shear that can be
transmitted to the anchors by a non-yielding attachment. The engineer needs to ascertain that
the non-yielding attachment meets the code that he or she is using. The engineer shall input
the maximum loads into the Input Sheet.
Option (c): The portion of the factored design load that is due to earthquake (E) shall be
increased by the overstrength factor Ωo. This factor shall be determined from ASCE 7 or the
code that the engineer is using for the design.
12. ACI 318M-19 Chapter 17 has been completely renumbered. Other significant changes since ACI
318M-14 are the strength reduction factor shown in Table 17.5.3(b) for shear used in concrete
breakout and an added section for designing attachments with shear lugs (ACI 318M-19 Sec. 17.11).

Steel Strength in Tension: Capacity of single anchor: Nsa = Ase,Nfuta (futa < 1.9fya and futa < 860 MPa = 224 kN (17.6.1.2)
Total capacity of anchors considering eccentricity: s1 = 250 mm
Nsa(tot) = if (e'N =0, nt (Nsa), else 2s/(s + 2e'N) * Nsa * (if nt = 4, 2, else 1) = 448 kN
Nsb for one anchor = 13ca1(Abrg)0.5l(f'c)0.5 = NA (17.6.4.1) For one anchor Nsb (modified) = Nsb(1 + ca2/ca1)/4 = NA (17.6.4.1.1)
l = 1 (Normal Weight Concrete) For two anchors Nsb (modified) = NA
Side blowout group effects do not apply.
Nsbg = (1+s/6ca1)Nsb = NA (17.6.4.2) s= 0
Nsb or Nsbg (governing) (anchors at side face) = NA sperp = 200
Nsb or Nsbg (total capacity for all anchors, see note below) = NA
Have increased the overall blow out strength where there are 4 or more anchors to account for the anchors on the far side of the pedestal
taking some of the load. Where eccentricity is zero, the far anchors take half the tension so the magnification factor is 2. The magnification
factor is 2*sperp /(sperp + 2e'N), where e'N is the eccentricity in tension and sperp is the anchor spacing perpendicular to the edge where the
blowout would occur. Note that 0 <= e’N <= sperp/2. See note 4 if there are more than 4 anchors.

* ca,max is not applicable if there are fewer than 3 sides within 1.5 h ef of the anchors. If there are 3 sides within 1.5 hef of the anchors, then ca,max is the maximum of these 3
edge distances. For pedestals with 4 sides less than 1.5h ef, ca,max should be the second largest edge distance less than 1.5h ef. If all 4 edge distances were being used
to find ca,max, it has been determined that the calculated capacity of the concrete would increase by as much as 40% when the fourth edge is brought from outside of
1.5hef to inside of 1.5 hef, even though ANc is being decreased. ACI has been contacted about this problem. The PIP CSA Function Team has agreed that this meets the
intent of the code and is conservative.
