Calcultion of anchorage zone concrete compressive stress (fca) doesn’t make any logic for me
(OP)
I have a problem concerning understanding how the equation that calculate Anchorage Zone Compressive Stress which in (AASHTO LRFD 2012 Bridge Design Specifications 6th Ed (US) Page 5-142)
https://ibb.co/juGUs5

it doesn’t make any sense to me that according to this equation the anchorage zone concrete compressive stress (fca) Proportional with Lateral dimension of the effective bearing area (beff)
Because according to this equation when we increase Lateral dimension of the effective bearing area (beff)
According to our background when we increase bearing area stress will decrease, as stress Inversely proportional to the dimension of loading area
and Part of (AASHTO LRFD 2012 Bridge Design Specifications 6th Ed (US))is attached
Please clarify to me my confusion.
