Dear customer,

Well this is a good question. Overhead concrete anchoring applications should be engineered assuming cracked concrete conditions. Additionally, in support areas, the top side of slabs and continuous beams may be in tension. Regions of the country with moderate to high seismic risk require concrete structures to be designed assuming cracked concrete conditions. If you are unsure, contact a structural engineer. Don't hesitate to contact us if there is anything else we can do for you.

Kind Regards
Lisa
