Steel Strength Factors

Steel Strength Factors

While evaluating anchors in Profis, I've noticed that the steel strength factor changes from 0.75 for longer embedment lengths to 1.2 for shorter embedment lengths and am looking for more information to understand why. If I could be pointed to the appropriate resource for explanation I would appreciate it.

Hi Stru,

Information on steel failure in tension starts on page 130 of the PROFIS Engineering Design Guide and information on steel failure in shear starts on page 295.

Regards,
Emily
