In case of concrete splitting failure
No verification of splitting is required if at least one of the conditions is fulfilled:
a) The edge distance in all direction is c ≥ ccr,sp for single fasteners and c ≥ 1.2 ccr,sp for fastener groups and the member depth is
h ≥ hmin in both cases.
b) The characteristic resistance for concrete cone failure and pull-out failure is calculated for cracked concrete and reinforcement resists
the splitting forces and limits the crack width to wk ≤ 0.3mm.

In case of concrete edge failure

Verification of concrete edge failure may be omitted for single fasteners and groups with an edge distance in all directions
c > max (10hef ; 60d). For anchorages with more than one edge, the resistance for all edges shall be calculated. The smallest value

Influence of spacing
In groups loaded perpendicular to the edge only two adjacent anchors closest and parallel to the edge carry the load. The smallest
spacing should be used for the verification.

Influence of load direction

In case of a > 90° it is assumed that only the component of the shear load parallel to the edge is acting on the anchor.
The component acting away from the edge may be neglected for the proof of concrete edge failure.
