Anchor Rods connected from both sides
Anchor Rods connected from both sides
(OP)
Please see sketch.
Is this type of connection eliminate the anchorage checks? (Breakout, Pullout...).
I believe it does. but IS there any additional checks I should be aware of? (for example; the concrete surface near the nuts? )
Thanks guys.

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 to either change it or adopt it.

Yes exactly, this means it depends on the concrete shear capacity not the breakout of concrete. Am I right?

Say you're connecting to a column with 2 bolts in tension. You need to check that the bolts don't break through the concrete column, as well as that the column section as a whole can resist the shear. This would only really be a problem if your bolts didn't have a large backing plate bearing against the column though. If they were bearing purely against a washer then, as KootK says, you'd be looking at a punching shear problem.

Thanks for the guidance guys. It's clear now👍
