Brittle failure - not suitable for SDC C or above.
Brittle failure - not suitable for SDC C or above.
(OP)
I am trying out Quick Anchor to design anchor bolts for a steel building per ACI Appendix D. In the output i am getting a value for tension and shear x and shear y, but each has the "Brittle failure - not suitable for SDC C or above." note. I can not see in appendix D what this is. Has anyone else seen this?

It means that the bolt fails- not the concrete.

It was not in ACI 318-05. It has been placed in ACI 318-08
in Section D.3.3.6 (the 0.4 factor is just reciprical of 2.5)

is shear friction added to appendix d in 08? i don't think CBC 07 which uses IBC 06 uses 318-08, so i don't know if that would be allowed.
