Question

The safe shear resistance of an anchor connector is given by
( K is a coefficient and other symbolshave the usual meanings)

• A.
  $V=K{f}_{sy}{A}_t$
• B. $V=K{f}_{sy}^2{A}_t$
• C. $V=K{f}_{sy}^{1/2}{A}_t$
• D. $V=K{f}_{sy}^{1/2}{A}_t^{1/2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$V=K{f}_{sy}{A}_t$
$V=K{f}_{sy}{A}_t$

V = ultimate shear resistance of each connector

$f_{sy}$ = ultimate tensile strength of steel of anchorage connector

$A_t$ = cross-section area of each connector
