How to use these charts:
- The following tables are for reduced Spacing.
- Locate the anchor size to be used for either a tension and/or shear load application.
- Locate the embedment (E) at which the anchor is to be installed.
- Locate the spacing (Sact) at which the anchor is to be installed.
- The load adjustment factor (fs) is the intersection of the row and column.
- Multiply the allowable load by the applicable load adjustment factor.
- Reduction factors for multiple spacing are multiplied together.
- Adjustment factors do not apply to allowable steel strength values.
- Adjustment factors are to be applied to allowable Tension Load Based on Bond Strength values or allowable Shear Load Based on Concrete Edge Distance values only.
Spacing Tension (fs)
- E = Embedment depth (inches).
- Sact= actual spacing distance at which anchors are installed (inches).
- Scr= critical spacing distance for 100% load (inches).
- Smin= minimum spacing distance for reduced load (inches).
- Sint = intermediate spacing distance at which anchors are installed (inches).
- fs= adjustment factor for allowable load at actual spacing distance.
- fscr= adjustment factor for allowable load at critical spacing distance. fscr is always = 1.00.
- fsmin= adjustment factor for allowable load at minimum spacing distance.
- fs = fsmin + [(1 - fsmin) (Sact - Smin) / (Scr - Smin)].
Spacing Shear (fs)
- E = Embedment depth (inches).
- Sact= actual spacing distance at which anchors are installed (inches).
- Scr= critical spacing distance for 100% load (inches).
- Smin= minimum spacing distance for reduced load (inches).
- Sint = intermediate spacing distance at which anchors are installed (inches).
- fs= adjustment factor for allowable load at actual spacing distance.
- fscr= adjustment factor for allowable load at critical spacing distance. fscr is always = 1.00.
- fsmin= adjustment factor for allowable load at minimum spacing distance.
- fs = fsmin + [(1 - fsmin) (Sact - Smin) / (Scr - Smin)].
