Determination of anchor and rebar forces acting on the
channel
In combination with the EDGE front plate all the actions on the
anchors (tension, perpendicular and longitudinal shear) are
calculated with the method of AC232.
The tension load on the rebars is also calculated with the model
of AC232, with a modification of ℓ
in
, as specified below.
Figure 9.6.2.8 — Load Path.
• Rebar tensile forces (Hilti Method): The rebar tensile
forces N
rua,i
are calculated with the bolt factored shear
load V
b
ua,y
with the same method, based on a triangular
distribution, described in the previous paragraph.
In this case the base of the triangle ℓ in is reduced as
specified in eq. (2) and loads are also increased by the ratio
(es / z + 1) to take the load eccentricity into account (see in
Figure 9.6. 2.10).

If several tension or shear loads are acting on the channel a linear
superimposition of the rebar forces for all shear loads is assumed.
In case of forces acting toward the inside of the slab, rebars
forces are added in a similar way as for the anchors. Negative
resulting forces on the rebars are neglected.

In general an verification acc. to ACI
318-11 is performed by comparing
a development length with a
provided length. Due to the fact
that the provided length as well as
the diameter of the rebar is fixed
a possible (virtual) “anchorable”
force (stress) in the rebar is “back”-
calculated. For the verification
this “anchorable” force N
p.R
will be
compared with the acting force N
rua
on the rebar.
