Tension and Shear Loads for 3/8" Sleeve-All Anchor in Grout-Filled CMU (Anchor Installed in Horizontal Mortar Joint or Face Shell)

1. The tabulated allowable loads are based on a safety factor of 4.0 for installations under the UBC. For installations under the IBC and IRC, use a safety factor of 5.0 (multiply the tabulated allowable loads by 0.80).
2. Listed loads may be applied to installations through a face shell with the following placement guidelines:
   • a. Minimum 3" from vertical mortal joint.
   • b. Minimum 1" from vertical cell centerline.
3. Values for 6 and 8-inch wide CMU Grade N, Type II, lightweight, medium-weight and normal-weight concrete masonry units conforming to UBC Standard 21-4 or ASTM C90. The masonry units must be fully grouted with grout complying with UBC Section 2103.4, or IBC Section 2103.12. Mortar is prepared in accordance with Section 2103.3 of the UBC and UBC Standard 21-15, or IBC Section 2103.8.
   The minimum specified compressive strength of masonry, f'm, at 28 days is 1,500 psi.
4. Embedment depth is measured from the outside face of the concrete masonry unit.
5. Drill bit diameter used in base material corresponds to nominal anchor diameter.
6. Allowable loads may not be increased for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces.
