Formulas: Strength of Steel Headed Stud Anchors

Equation I8-1

The nominal shear strength of one steel headed stud anchor embedded in a solid concrete slab or in a composite slab with decking shall be determined as follows:

where

• $\begin{aligned} A_{s a} & =\text { cross-sectional area of steel headed stud anchor, in. }^{2}\left(\mathrm{~mm}^{2}\right)\end{aligned}$
• $E_{c}$ = modulus of elasticity of concrete

$w_{c}^{1.5} \sqrt{f_{c}^{\prime}}$, ksi $\left(0.043 w_{c}^{1.5} \sqrt{f_{c}^{\prime}}, \mathrm{MPa}\right)$

Formula 2

= 0.6 for steel headed stud anchors welded in a composite slab with deck oriented perpendicular to the beam and $e_{\text {mid-ht }}<2$ in.
