In the steel norm EN 1993-1-8, 6.2.2(7) there is a section to calculate the shear resistance for anchor bolts connected to concrete. This calculated capacity is much smaller than what you get if you do the coresponding calculation using EN 1992-4. For 8.8-steel the difference in calculated sheer strenght is a factor of 2. What is Hiltis argument for only checking steel failure using 1992 and not 1993?
Thanks for your question.
When designing anchors in concrete the software design according to EN 1992-4 "Design of fastenings for use in concrete". This part of Eurocode is fairly new (2018) and covers specifically anchors in concrete and also includes design of steel failure for the fastener in shear with or without lever arm EN1992-4, 7.2.2.3.1 - 7.2.2.3.2.
