Anchor Pull-Out Test Load
Anchor Pull-Out Test Load
(OP)
Trying to come with anchor Pull-Out Test Load embedded in concrete.
Say the service live load is 1 kip. (Assume all Live)
Is it correct to multiply 1 kip with (1.6/0.7) for a total Test Load of 2.43 kips. Such that FOS for LL= 1.6 and Phi =0.7 for concrete tension capacity equations per ACI 318 Appendix D.

For load test post design, you're 2.43k is ok

If the anchor demand is low compared to the design strength, I would also consider the frequency of testing and lower the test value. Are all of the anchors are being tested or just some percentage. I believe chapter 17 of the IBC requires 2x the design load for in-situ load test for items where there is no recognized test standard.
