When designing a steel connection for the base plate of a steel column using the steel connections module in RSA and specifically for the concrete cone pull-out checking, are the reinforcement bars of the concrete footing/ground beam/column pier taken into consideration?
What I mean is that, the anchors inside a foundation are almost always surrounded by steel reinforcement therefore where the cone pull-out failure plane is formed a steel bar may be passing through it which gives more resistance against cone pull-out (tension) or breaking of concrete edge (shear).
Note that Eurocode is available
The eurocode could advantageously replace the current CEB checks carried out using the steel connection module.

We can only hope that EN 1992-4:2018 is part of the next development.
Note that the draft standard prEN 1992-4:2013 (Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Part 4: Design of
fastenings for use in concrete) is notified with CEB_96 by CNC2M in th following document :
