The KB-TZ2 is considered a ductile steel element in accordance with ACI 349-01 Appendix B
3
For all design cases, Ψ

= 1.0. The appropriate effectiveness factor for cracked concrete (k
cr
) or uncracked concrete (k
uncr
) shall be used.
4
For all design cases, Ψ
4
= 1.0. Tabular value for pullout strength is for a concrete compressive strength of 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa). Pullout strength for concrete
compressive strength greater than 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa) may be increased by multiplying the tabular pullout strength by (f’c / 2,500)
n
for psi, or (f’c / 17.2)
n
for MPa,
where n is given as n
uncr
for uncracked concrete and n
cr
for cracked concrete and seismic. NA (not applicable) denotes that pullout strength does not need to be
considered for design.

For core drill installations, k

and
k
cr
= 17 for 3/4-inch diameter anchors installed at 3-3/4 inches (95 mm) effective embedment.
6
For core drill installations, N
p,cr
= 4245 lb (18.9 kN) and N
p,eq
= 4245 lb (18.9 kN) for 1/2-inch diameter anchors installed at 3-1/4 inches (83 mm) effective embedment.

1/4-inch and 1-inch diameter anchors are not permitted for core drilling installations.
