  1. Allowable load must be the lesser of the load based on concrete edge distance or steel strength.
  2. The allowable loads based on concrete edge distance are based on a safety factor of 4.0.
  3. Allowable loads may be increased by 29 percent for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces where permitted by code.
  4. 100% of the allowable load is permitted at critical spacing. No reduction in spacing is allowed.
  5. Refer to allowable load adjustment factors for edge distance.
  6. Refer to In-Service Temperature Sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
  7. 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.
