Concrete Blockout Check
Can we ignore concrete blackout check (aka, anchorage calculations) if we are to provide a full development length Ld for the post installed dowel rebar instead of the shallower embedment depth. Please let us know all the conditions to check to ignore anchorage design approach and use development length approach. Thank you.

Hi Venu,
The decision to disregard the evaluation of the concrete breakout failure mode in the anchor design would ultimately be left to the discretion of the Engineer of Record’s engineering judgment.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
Best,
