Concrete Breakout when "Anchor Reinforcement" is selected
I'm working on a Profis anchorage design using cast in place hex head anchors. The connection keeps failing in concrete breakout due to the proximity of the anchor bolts to the edge of the concrete. In lieu of increasing the size of the concrete pier, I'd like to use anchor reinforcement to alleviate the concrete breakout failures. When I check that box, it gives me a warning the concrete breakout will not be checked. I agree. In the results however, concrete breakout is still being analyzed however. I'm wondering if I missed something or can manually remove concrete breakout from the report?
