Just checked into the March 2014 edition of Structure.
Saw that they had an article on pg52 - Structural Testing - Testing tension-only steel anchor rods embedded reinforced concrete slabs...
Quite interesting - basically demonstrating exactly how "conservative" Appendix D requirements are/have been.
Attached clips shows rebar being used in field tests at Simpson Facitities in CA.
Seems similar to what some of us are doing / trying to do with holdowns...
This appears to be the same crowd that got us the "break" ...sorrow pun... for anchor bolts with wood sills - governed by wood strength - not Concrete break-out....
Anyway ... interesting...
