Anchoring in concrete - Reduced hef for edge effects (D.5.2.3)
Anchoring in concrete - Reduced hef for edge effects (D.5.2.3)
(OP)
The requirement D.5.2.3 of ACI318 state:
"Where anchors are located less than 1.5hef from three or more edges, the value of hef used in Eq. (D-4) through (D-11) shall be the greater of Ca,max/1.5 and one-third of the maximum spacing between the anchors within the group."
When it says "where anchors are located..." is it refered to the group of anchors or for each single anchor of the group?
Thanks

Agree, your statement is also true, oe sounds better. The distance is measured to the center line of any bolt, or bolts, that is closest to the free edge.
