9.6.3 — HAC (T) EDGE, HAC (T) EDGE LITE AND HAC S (T) EDGE
DESIGN: IN METAL DECK APPLICATIONS
The capacity of anchor channel should be reduced because
of the presence of a metal deck. The following failure modes
should be modified:
• EDGE pull-out strength of rebar: In general an verification
according 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) “anchorage” force (stress)
in the rebar is “back”-calculated. For the verification this
“anchorage” force N
p.R
will be compared with the acting force
N
r
ua
on the rebar.
Please refer to the section: 9.6.2 of this chapter for the method
of calculating the forces at the rebar N
r
ua
.

≤ 2.5 influence of concrete cover
The c
b
cover on the rebar where the rebar goes on top of metal
deck should be measured from center of rebar to the metal
deck. The c
b
value is taken as minimum value of x
1
and x
2
in the
development length equation. The pullout strength gets reduced
due to the reduced cover if the ratio c
b
/d
b
is less than 2.5. Please
refer to rebar theory and design of anchor channel design code
chapters 7 and 8 for more information on this failure mode.
The concrete cover gets affected when the anchor channel is
in a metal deck. This affect cannot be modelled in PROFIS.
PROFIS anchor channel software takes the c
b
as the c
b1
which
is h
ch
+0.5d
b
. For the available product this x
1
/d
b
(c
b
/d
b
) value is
greater than 2.5, hence the capacity is not reduced because of
the cover effect. Therefore check needs to be reevaluated by
measuring the c
b2
as seen in Figure 9.6.3.1 and Figure 9.6.3.2.
The ratio x
2
/d
b
(c
b
/d
b
) is determined and if it is less than 2.5 then
the capacity needs to be reduced. If value of the ratio is y=x
2
/d
b
(c
b
/d
b
), then the capacity is reduced by the ratio of y/2.5. Refer
Figure 9.6.3.1
Concrete breakout strength in shear
This dimension of height of substrate effects concrete breakout
strength in perpendicular shear check. This will change the
factor Ψ
h,V
. It is recommended to model the concrete thickness
h as seen in the Figure 9.6.3.1.
The dimension h in the formula below for Ψ
h,V
factor should be
taken as h as shown in Figure 9.6.3.1.
Please refer to anchor channel design code for more information
on concrete breakout in shear.
