THEN the shear design process can proceed.

ELSE the shear design process FAILS since the section size or strength of the concrete is inadequate for
shear.  No further shear calculations are carried out in the region under consideration and the user is
warned accordingly.
    
The design shear capacity of the minimum area of shear links actually provided, Vs,min is given by3;
Vs,min = (Av,min/s)*φ*d*fyt
where  
Av,min is the area of shear reinforcement provided to meet the minimum requirements.
  
For each beam determine the following;
Vu,maxL = the maximum vertical shear force at the face of the left hand support
Vu,dL = the vertical shear force at a distance dL from the face of the left hand support
Vu,maxR = the maximum vertical shear force at the face of the right hand support
Vu,dR = the vertical shear force at a distance dR from the face of the right hand support
Vu,S2L = the maximum vertical shear force at the extreme left of region S2
Vu,S2R = the maximum vertical shear force at the extreme right of region S2
where
dL = the minimum effective depth of the beam in regions T1 and B1
dR = the minimum effective depth of the beam in regions T5 and B3
 
For region S1;
IF
ABS(Vu,maxL) – ABS(Vu,dL) ≤ 0.25*ABS(Vu,maxL)
THEN
Vu,S1 = ABS(Vu,dL)
ELSE
Vu,S1 = ABS(Vu,maxL)
For region S3;
IF
ABS(Vu,maxR) – ABS(Vu,dR) ≤ 0.25*ABS(Vu,maxR)
THEN
Vu,S3 = ABS(Vu,dR)
ELSE
Vu,S3 = ABS(Vu,maxR)
For region S2;
IF
ABS(Vu,maxL) – ABS(Vu,dL) ≤ 0.25*ABS(Vu,maxL)
Vu,S2L = MIN[ABS(Vu,S2L), ABS(Vu,dL)]
ELSE
Vu,S2L = Vu,S2L
IF
ABS(Vu,maxR) – ABS(Vu,dR) ≤ 0.25*ABS(Vu,maxR)
 Vu,S2R = MIN[ABS(Vu,S2R), ABS(Vu,dR)]
ELSE
Vu,S2R = Vu,S2R
The absolute maximum vertical shear force in the region is then given by;
Vu,S2 = MAX[ABS(Vu,S2L), ABS(Vu,S2R)]
In any region, i;
IF
Vu,i ≤ Vs,min + φVc
where
Vu,i = the maximum shear in region i from the above routines
OR
The structure is defined as a joist construction 4.
THEN
Minimum shear reinforcement shall be used;
And the nominal shear strength is given;
φVn =  φVc + Vs,min 5
ELSE
Vu,i > Vs,min+ φVc 
THEN shear links are required in the region.
The area of shear reinforcement required is then given 6;
metric-units;
(Av /s)Si =   MAX[(Vu- φ*Vc)/ (φ*fyt*d), 0.062* f`c0.5 *bw /fyt, 0.35Pa*bw/fyt]
US-units;
(Av /s)Si =   MAX[(Vu- φ*Vc)/ (φ*fyt*d), 0.75* f`c0.5 *bw /fyt, 50psi*bw/fyt]
Vs = (Av/s)*φ*d*fyt
 
IF
Vs ≤ 0.66*fc`0.5*bw*d7  metric -units     
THEN the shear design process passes.
And the nominal shear strength is given;
φVn =  φVc + Vs
ELSE the shear design process FAILS since the section size or strength of the concrete is inadequate for
shear.
What is Concrete Pryout Strength?
This is something related to the coming out of the short and stiff anchors by breaking or
chipping the concrete at the direction opposite to the applied shear force to the column.

Design Calculation
The code ACI 318 Appendix D gives the following equation:

φVcpg=kcpNcbg  ………………D-31
Where,

Φ  – Strength reduction factor for pryout strength and its value for non-reinforcement in tension is  0.70
Vcpg – Pryout strength
kcp  –  Factor, which has value =2  for the anchor longer than 2.5 inch.
Ncbg – Concrete breakout strength in tension (=20694.6131 lb, Refer Part-2) for the anchor group.

Ncbg – Concrete breakout strength in tension (=20694.6131 lb, Refer Part-2) for the anchor group.
Pryout strength of the anchor group (Φ Vpn) =28972.45 lb

Out of these three strength values the smallest one will be the design strength.

So, the design strength in shear = 10821.297 lb

From the problem statement (part-1), you can observe that applied factored shear force to the
column = 2300 lb.
Since, design strength in shear is much lower than the factored applied shear force, so, the
anchor bolts are safe under shear loading.

In the next part (Part-8) of this concrete anchor foundation bolt design calculation example we
will see the interaction of tensile and shear forces according to the ACI 318D.
