ET Epoxy-Tie® Anchoring Adhesive
Tension and Shear Loads for Threaded Rod Anchors
in Lightweight, Medium-Weight and Normal-Weight Hollow CMU
- Threaded rods must comply with ASTM A 307 minimum.
- Values for 6 and 8-inch wide CMU Grade N, Type II concrete masonry units conforming to UBC Standard 21-4 or ASTM C90. Mortar is prepared in accordance with Section 2103.3 of the UBC and UBC Standard 21-15, or IBC Section 2103.8. The minimum specifi ed compressive strength of masonry, f'm, at 28 days is 1,500 psi.
- Embedment depth is measured from the outside face of the concrete masonry unit for installations through a face shell.
- Allowable loads may not be increased for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces.
- Refer to In-Service Temperature Sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
- The tabulated allowable loads are based on a safety factor of 5.0 for installations under the IBC and IRC. For installations under the UBC use a safety factor of 4.0 (multiply the tabulated allowable loads by 1.25).
- Anchors must be spaced a minimum distance of four times the anchor embedment.
