Information used for calculating the ductility of an anchor can be found in the specific anchors’ ICC-ES report. ACI 318 defines a “ductile steel element” as an element with a tensile elongation of at least 14 percent and reduction in area of at least 30 percent. (e.g. minimum specified yield strength, minimum specified ultimate strength). Don't hesitate to contact us if there is anything else we can do for you.
