Steel Capacity of Anchor for Seismic Changes with Embed
I have a baseplate with tension. I am playing with embeds to achieve a ductile failure to meet seismic criteria per ACI 318-11 Appendix D. When I change the same baseplate from 12" embed to 12 1/2" embed, it changes the steel phi factor. As far as I can tell, the embed should not change this phi factor. It should be the same not matter what. Am I missing something?

Hi Josh,
Thank you for reaching out. Reduction factors for tension and shear designs with threaded rods and HIT-HY 200 V3 can be found in Table 11 of ESR-4868. For further assistance specific for your application, please email your ".pe" file to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
