Why is there no allowance for the shearing of ties in the concrete breakout strength, in App. D? If you have a pier or pedastal with shear ties, don't the ties have to shear first before the concrete breaks out.
 
The analysis of most of Appendix D assumes concrete only, reinforcement can be used if the concrete fails. See D.6.2.9.
