Tension Load Rebar Normal Weight Concrete
Tension Loads for Rebar Dowels in Normal-Weight Concrete
  1. Allowable load must be the lesser of the bond or steel strength.
  2. The allowable loads listed under allowable bond are based on a safety factor of 4.0.
  3. Allowable loads may be increased by 33 1/3 percent for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces for only the shallowest embedment depths listed where permitted by code.
  4. Refer to allowable load-adjustment factors for spacing and edge distance.
  5. Refer to in-service temperature sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
