Anchor Minimum Embedment Depth
Anchor Minimum Embedment Depth
(OP)
Is there a guide to minimum embedment depth for anchors? I have 1" anchors that are only used to resist shear with no tension (equipment support on slide plates). What should I use for embedment depth?

You're missing a bunch of info for even a basic answer.
Most fasteners (or adhesives) come with load tables from the manufacturers that outline capacities that can be modified to account for edge distance, embedment, and spacings.
Call hilti, or simpson strongtie, or ramset (redhead are the adhesives by the ramset company) and get their catalogues.

Also a 12D minimum doesn't seem appropriate. What is the reference for that?

12d is from Design of Anchor Bolt for Petrrochem Facilities

as far as i know aci doesnt have minimum.
also you may need to be specific coz there are two ways to get anchor embedment, either to develop anchor with pedestal rebar or in your case no rebar consideration.

Like ztengguy, I would probably use 6" of embedment unless there was some other constraint. Or, I would use the 7" embedment with 5.3 kip ASD shear capacity per the IBC rather than calculating capacity with ACI-318 appendix D.
