- Reference Supplemental Topics for Adhesive Anchors for oversize holes.
- Allowable load must be the lesser of the bond or steel strength.
- The allowable loads listed under allowable bond are based on a safety factor of 4.0.
- Allowable loads may be increased by 33 1/3 percent for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces where permitted by code.
- Refer to allowable load adjustment factors for spacing and edge distance.
- Refer to In-Service Temperature Sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
- Anchors are permitted to be used within fire-resistive construction, provided the anchors resist wind or seismic loads only. For use in fire-resistive construction, the anchors can also be permitted to be used to resist gravity loads, provided special consideration has been given to fire exposure conditions.
- Anchors are not permitted to resist tension forces in overhead or wall installations unless proper consideration is given to fire-exposure and elevated temperature conditions.
