Figure 4 - Example calculation
Given:
(2) CS 1/2” KB-TZ2 anchors under static tension load as shown.
hef = 3-1/4 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. ACI 349-01 Guide Ref.

Step 12. Calculate pullout strength: N/A; pullout does not need to be considered B.5.3.2 Table 2
Step 13. Ductility check according to B.3.6.1

where Φ= 0.85
0.85 (7,619 lb) < 22,572 lb => ductility not met
B.3.6.3 requires an additional reduction factor of 0.6 for non-ductile anchors
ΦN
cbg
= 0.6 x 5,717 = 3,430 lbf
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.
