Concrete breakout strength of single anchors in tension using neural networks

The relationships between the concrete breakout strength of anchors and different influencing parameters obtained from the trained neural networks were in general agreement with those of the ACI 318-02 for cast-in and post-installed mechanical anchors. It has been shown that the concrete breakout strength of anchors in tension is approximately proportional to the embedment depth of 1.5 power and marginally affected by changing the anchor head diameter.
