strength reduction factor "phi" for bearing on concrete

strength reduction factor "phi" for bearing on concrete

(OP)
Does anybody know if the strength reduction factor "phi" for bearing on concrete in ACI-2005 is still the same as ACI-2002, i.e. phi=0.65?

If it is still the same in ACI-2005 as ACI-2002, then it will differ from AISC-13th value of phi=0.6. So, which value should we use both in PE exam and in future practice?

Thanks a lot.   

RE: strength reduction factor "phi" for bearing on concrete

It is 0.65.  AISC Spec will be revised to match in 2010.

Use the value for ACI.
