From a practical standpoint, I find it hard to believe that...
Thank you for your reply.
I am aware that hooked anchor bolts have low tensile capacity in concrete. I am also aware that AISC recommends against using hooked anchor bolts in tension. However, AISC is not the governing code when determining the capacity of a hooked anchor bolt in tension, at...

Equation D-18 references Equation D-17, which contains the term, Abrg (bearing area at head of anchor bolt). This term is not applicable to hooked anchor...
