AnchorClaw

Anchorage to concrete, checked against the code

Anchor and base-plate design under ACI 318-19 Chapter 17 — cast-in and post-installed. Every value cites the section and equation it came from, so a reviewer can follow the arithmetic instead of trusting it.

What it does

Every failure mode

Steel, concrete breakout, pullout, pryout and side-face blowout — plus tension-shear interaction, rather than the governing one in isolation.

Cited, not asserted

Each result carries its ACI section and equation number. "Per code" is not an answer a plan reviewer can check.

Manufacturer data

Cross-references ESR reports from Hilti, Simpson and DeWalt against the code provisions they are qualified under.

Checks it runs

Tension

Steel strength, concrete breakout Ncb, pullout Np, side-face blowout, and bond for adhesive anchors.

Shear

Steel strength, concrete breakout Vcb, and pryout — with edge distance and spacing modifiers applied, not assumed away.

Interaction

Combined tension and shear per §17.8, plus the seismic provisions of §17.10 where they govern.

Base plates

Plate thickness and bearing to AISC Design Guide 1, tied to the anchor layout rather than checked separately.
