Background for Headed Concrete Anchor Design

Background for Headed Concrete Anchor Design

• Anchorage to concrete and the design of welded headed studs has undergone a significant transformation since the Fifth Edition of the Handbook.

• “Concrete Capacity Design” (CCD) approach has been incorporated into ACI 318-02 Appendix D

Headed Concrete Anchor Design HistoryHeaded Concrete Anchor Design History

• The shear capacity equations are based on PCI sponsored research

• The Tension capacity equations are based on the ACI Appendix D equations only modified for cracking and common PCI variable names

Background forHeaded Concrete Anchor Design

Background forHeaded Concrete Anchor Design

• PCI sponsored an extensive research project, conducted by Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc., (WJE), to study design criteria of headed stud groups loaded in shear and the combined effects of shear and tension

• Section D.4.2 of ACI 318-02 specifically permits alternate procedures, providing the test results met a 5% fractile criteria

Supplemental ReinforcementSupplemental Reinforcement

Appendix D, Commentary

“… supplementary reinforcement in the direction of load, confining reinforcement, or both, can greatly enhance the strength and ductility of the anchor connection.”

“Reinforcement oriented in the direction of load and proportioned to resist the total load within the breakout prism, and fully anchored on both side of the breakout planes, may be provided instead of calculating breakout capacity.”

HCA Design PrinciplesHCA Design Principles

• Performance based on the location of the stud relative to the member edges

• Shear design capacity can be increased with confinement reinforcement

• In tension, ductility can be provided by reinforcement that crosses the potential failure surfaces


• Designed to resist – Tension– Shear– Interaction of the two

• The design equations are applicable to studs which are welded to steel plates or other structural members and embedded in unconfined concrete


• Where feasible, connection failure should be defined as yielding of the stud material

• The groups strength is taken as the smaller of either the concrete or steel capacity

• The minimum plate thickness to which studs are attached should be ½ the diameter of the stud

• Thicker plates may be required for bending resistance or to ensure a more uniform load distribution to the attached studs

Stainless Steel StudsStainless Steel Studs

• Can be welded to either stainless steel or mild carbon steel

• Fully annealed stainless steel studs are recommended when welding stainless steel studs to a mild carbon steel base metal

• Annealed stud use has been shown to be imperative for stainless steel studs welded to carbon steel plates subject to repetitive or cyclic loads

Stud DimensionsStud Dimensions

• Table 6.5.1.2• Page 6-12

Steel CapacitySteel Capacity

• Both Shear and Tension governed by same basic equation

• Strength reduction factor is a function of shear or tension

• The ultimate strength is based on Fut and not Fy

Steel CapacitySteel Capacity

Vs = Ns = ·n·Ase·fut

Where = steel strength reduction factor

= 0.65 (shear)= 0.75 (tension)

Vs = nominal shear strength steel capacity

Ns = nominal tensile strength steel capacityn = number of headed studs in group

Ase = nominal area of the headed stud shank

fut = ultimate tensile strength of the stud steel

Concrete CapacityConcrete Capacity

• ACI 318-02, Appendix D, “Anchoring to Concrete”

• Cover many types of anchors• In general results in more conservative

designs than those shown in previous editions of this handbook

Cracked ConcreteCracked Concrete

• ACI assumes concrete is cracked• PCI assumes concrete is cracked• All equations contain adjustment factors for cracked

and un-cracked concrete• Typical un-cracked regions of members

– Flexural compression zone– Column or other compression members– Typical precast concrete

• Typical cracked regions of members– Flexural tension zones– Potential of cracks during handling

The 5% fractileThe 5% fractile

• ACI 318-02, Section D.4.2 states, in part: “…The nominal strength shall be based on the 5

percent fractile of the basic individual anchor strength…”

• Statistical concept that, simply stated,– if a design equation

is based on tests, 5 percent of the tests are allowed to fall below expected

5% Failures

Capacity

Test strength


• This allows us to say with 90 percent confidence that 95 percent of the test actual strengths exceed the equation thus derived

• Determination of the coefficient κ, associated with the 5 percent fractile (κσ) – Based on sample population,n number of tests– x the sample mean– σ is the standard deviation of the sample set


• Example values of κ based on sample size are:

n = ∞ κ = 1.645 n = 40 κ = 2.010 n = 10 κ = 2.568
