Strong-Bolt Characteristic Tension Design Values

  1. The information presented in this table is to be used in conjunction with the design criteria of ACI 318 Appendix D, except as modified below.
  2. The value of applies when the load combinations of ACI 318 Section 9.2 are used. If the load combinations of ACI 318 Appendix C are used, refer to Section D4.5 to determine the appropriate value of . The 3/4 inch diameter is considered as a brittle steel element. The 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, and 1 inch diameters are considered as ductile steel elements.
  3. Pull-out strength is not reported since concrete breakout controls.
  4. Adjust the characteristic pull-out resistance for other concrete compressive strengths by multiplying the tabular value by (f'c,specified / 2,500)0.7.
  5. Adjust the characteristic pull-out resistance for other concrete compressive strengths by multiplying the tabular value by (f'c,specified / 2,500)0.5.
  6. The value of applies when both the load combinations of ACI 318 Section 9.2 are used and the requirements of Section D4.4(c) for Condition B are met. If the load combinations of ACI 318 Appendix C are used, refer to Section D4.5 to determine the appropriate value of .
  7. The modification factor cp,N = 1.0 for cracked concrete. Otherwise, the modification factor for uncracked concrete without supplementary reinforcement to control splitting is either: (1) cp,N = 1.0 if ca,min ≥ cac or
    (2) cp,N = ca,min 1.5hef    if ca,min < cac.
    cac ccr

    The modification factor, cp,N is applied to the nominal concrete breakout strength, Ncb or Ncbg.
  8. The value of applies when both the load combinations of ACI 318 Section 9.2 are used and the requirements of Section D4.4(c) for Condition B are met. If the load combinations of ACI 318 Section 9.2 are used and the requirements of Section D4.4(c) for Condition A are met, refer to Section D4.4 to determine the appropriate value of . If the load combinations of ACI 318 Appendix C are used, refer to Section D4.5 to determine the appropriate value of .
  9. For sand-lightweight concrete, in lieu of ACI 318 Section D.3.4, modify the value of Nn by multiplying all values of f'c affecting Nn by 0.60. All-lightweight concrete is beyond the scope of this table.
  10. For sand-lightweight concrete, modify the value of Npn,cr , Npn,uncr and Neq by 0.60. All-lightweight concrete is beyond the scope of this table.
