FIGURE 5—EXAMPLE CALCULATION
Given:
(2) HSL-3 M10 anchors under static tension load
as shown.
h
ef
= 2.76 in.
Slab on grade with f '
c
= 3,000 psi.
No supplementary reinforcing.
Assume cracked normal-weight concrete.
Calculate the design strength in tension for this
configuration.
Calculation per ACI 349-01 Appendix B and this document.

Note: According to B.3.6.2, alternatively the attachment / base plate can be designed to yield at a load
level of 75% of the anchor design strength. In this case, the 0.6 factor would not have to be applied.
