Example Calculation for a single SET-XP™ Epoxy Adhesive Anchor using USD

Determine if a single 1/2 inch diameter ASTM A193 Grade B7 anchor rod in SET-XP epoxy adhesive anchor with a minimum 4 1/2 inch embedment (h_ef = 4 1/2 inches) installed 4 inches from the edge of a 12 inch deep spandrel beam is adequate for a service tension load of 1,300 lb for live and a reversible service shear load of 450 lb for live. The anchor will be in uncracked dry concrete, away from other anchors in ƒ'_c = 3,000 psi normal-weight concrete. The anchor will be subjected to a maximum short term temperature of 110°F and a maximum long term temperature of 75°F. Continuous inspection will be provided.

Reference the appropriate tables for SET-XP epoxy adhesive anchor performance values as determined from testing in accordance with ICC-ES AC308.
