Load Tables

PAF Shear Loads in Concrete and Steel

1. Load values based on 0.145" dia. pins in 2500 psi nm. wt. concrete or steel having a minimum Fy = 36 ksi
   (see ICC ER-2138).
2. Edge distance of pins shall be no less than 3". Spacing distance of pins shall be no less than 4"
3. The entire pointed portion of the fastener must penetrate the steel.
4. Edge distance of pins shall be no less than 1/2". Spacing distance of pins shall be no less than 1 1/2".
5. 2001 AISI NASPEC, Eq. E4.3.1-2, Ω = 3.0, d=0.145". See Conversion Charts for CFS thickness standards and General Notes (e) for CFS properties.
6. Allowable loads must be the lesser of the base material or CFS strength.

PAF Tension Loads in Concrete and Steel

1. Load values based on 0.145" dia. pins in 2500 psi nm. wt. concrete or steel having a minimum Fy = 36 ksi
   (see ICC ESR-2138).
2. Use interaction formula for combined tension/shear (P_s/P_t) + (V_s/V_t) ≤ 1.0.
3. Edge distance of pins shall be no less than 3". Spacing distance of pins shall be no less than 4"
4. The entire pointed portion of the fastener must penetrate the steel.
5. Edge distance of pins shall be no less than 1/2". Spacing distance of pins shall be no less than 1 1/2".
6. 2001 AISI NASPEC, Eq. E4.4.2-1 divided by 2.0 (one-sided loading), Ω = 3.0, d_w = 0.3". See Conversion Charts for CFS thickness standards and General Notes (e) for CFS properties.
7. Allowable loads must be the lesser of the base material or CFS strength.
