Limit State of Tensile Fracture

The area of the anchor should be such that

Where Ag is the required gross area of the anchor , Fu is the minimum

specified tensile strength, and t is the resistance factor for tensile fracture which
is equal to 0.75.
the required embedded length can be calculated from the equation

Where Ap is the projected area of the failure cone, Tu is the required bolt
force in pounds, fc ' is the compressive strength of concrete in psi and t is the
resistance factored assumed to be equal to 0.75. If failure cone from adjacent
anchors overlap one another or intersect with the pedestal edge, the projected
area Ap must be adjusted according (see, for example [23, 24]).
The length calculated using the above equation should not be less than
the recommended values given by [29]. These values are reproduced in the
following table. Also shown in the table are the recommended minimum edge
distances for the anchors.
Bolts type (material) Minimum ambedded length
Minimum edge distance
A307 (A36) 12d 5d > 4 in
A325 (A449) 17d 7d > 4 in
d = nominal diameter of the anchor
