Example of Concrete Anchor Bolt Design Calculation –
Part4: Determining Sideface Blowout Strength of Anchor
in Tension
In this part we will calculate the sideface blowout strength of the concrete anchor according to the ACI 318 Appendix D
codes and also consolidate the results of the different types of anchor strengths in tension we have calculated so far.
Please refer the problem statement and the part1, part2, part3 of this cast in place concrete anchor bolt design calculation
example so that you will be in phase with this part (part4) of the calculation.
What is Sideface Blow Out Strength?
In simple term, it is the failure of the concrete due to the closeness of an anchor bolt with the side surface of the concrete
foundation. When the anchor bolt is too close to the side then the possibilities are there that before breaking out the top
concrete surface, the side surface get broken. While calculating sideface blowout the depth of the anchor bolt and the
distance of the anchor from the closest edge are considered.
Calculation
According to ACI codes, you need to calculate the side face blowout only for the anchors which has the distance from the
edge lesser than 0.4 times the depth of the anchor, or
Ca1 < 0.4*hef ……………………………………………4.1
Where,
Ca1 – Minimum distance from the anchor to the foundation edge (in our case it is 5 inch)
hef – Effective embedment depth of anchor (in our case it is 10 inch).
So, from equation 4.1, 0.4**hef is 4 which is less than Ca1 so we need to calculate sideface blowout strength for this
example.
Summary of Calculated Strength Values in Tension
Through the part1, Part2, part3, and this part we have come out with the following strength values:
Nominal material strength for the anchors (Φ Nsa) = 75150 lb
Concrete breakout strength for the anchor group (Φ Ncbg) = 20694.6131 lb
Pullout strength of the anchor group (Φ Npn) = 58598.4 lb
Sideface blowout strength = NA
Out of these three strength values the smallest one will be the design strength.

So, the design strength in tension = 20694.6131 lb
If you refer the problem statement for this foundation anchor bolt design calculation example then you can observe that
tensile load (20000 lb) applied is lower than the calculated design strength in tension (20694.6131 lb), so, the design is safe
under tensile load.
In the next part (Part5), we will discuss calculating the materiel strength or steel strength in shear.
