Bond Strength of rebars in uncracked concrete with supplementary reinforcement

Bond Strength of rebars in uncracked concrete with supplementary reinforcement

Hi
Why does Hilti Profis not use 1.0 for bond splitting factor for post-installed rebars (adhesive anchor) in tension when there is supplemental reinforcement in uncracked concrete ? The equations 17.6.5.5.1a & 17.6.5.5.1b in ACI 318-19 are only for uncracked concrete without supplementary reinforcement. This often causes the bond strength in cracked concrete to be higher than uncracked concrete.
