Understanding Factor Reductions
Area Ratios (Ac,N/A°c,N)
Reduced from 1.0 when:- Edges are close (cone truncated)
- Multiple anchors (overlapping cones)
- Shallow members (depth limited)
ψ Factors
Cumulative Effect
Multiple factors multiply together:Common Result Patterns
Pattern 1: Edge-Limited Design
Symptoms:- Concrete cone or edge failure governs
- Low ψs values
- Warning about edge distances
- Increase edge distance if possible
- Add edge reinforcement
- Select deeper embedment channel
Pattern 2: Steel-Limited Design
Symptoms:- Steel failure governs
- High utilization on steel modes
- Concrete modes have large margin
- Select higher strength channel
- Use larger profile
- Consider multiple T-bolts
Pattern 3: Interaction-Limited Design
Symptoms:- Individual modes OK
- Combined check fails
- Moderate tension + moderate shear
- Distribute loads (multiple T-bolts)
- Select larger channel
- Reduce combined loading
Pattern 4: Splitting-Limited Design
Symptoms:- Splitting governs
- Thin member warning
- Edge or spacing issues
- Increase member thickness
- Select shallower channel
- Increase edge distances
Acting on Results
When Design Passes
- Review governing mode — understand the limitation
- Check margin — is there room for variation?
- Consider warnings — any coordination needed?
- Document — export calculation report
When Design Fails
- Identify failing mode(s)
- Understand the cause (geometry, loads, product)
- Consider options:
- Different product
- Geometry adjustment
- Load redistribution
- Multiple fixings
- Re-run verification
- Iterate until satisfactory
Don’t just select larger products blindly. Understanding why a design fails helps you find efficient solutions.
