Difference between PCI and ACI318 APP-D in Concrete Inserts design
Difference between PCI and ACI318 APP-D in Concrete Inserts design
(OP)
Dear All,
Can anyone tell me when to design the concrete inserts with PCI or ACI318 appendix D?
Which of them is more common/credible in anchorage design.
me question rises from the fact I found a difference in calculation of shear capacity when shear is parallel to edge
Regards

What are you connecting and what kind of connector are you thinking of using? Which method gives the higher capacity?
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough that I want to either change it or adopt it.
The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

Interesting idea, care to elaborate on the modifications to the design to accomodate that?
I see it working I'm just not totally sure what kind of things you would take into account.
Do you consider friction between the CMU and the remaining concrete?

It used to be punishment in an engineering office to have to review shop drawings. Now it's designing anchor bolts.
