Someone mentioned this in an earlier - that the code (either AISC 360-05 or IBC '06) requires the anchor rod capacity to be less than the concrete capacity to ensure a ductile failure mode.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to where this is located in the code? I would like to read up on it, specifically if this requirement is for tension only or for shear also.
