Load Adjustment Factors

in Normal-Weight Concrete: Edge Distance, Tension and Shear Loads

 
caution!These tables are not for use with USD design methods

How to use these charts:

  1. The following tables are for reduced Edge Distance.
  2. Locate the anchor size to be used for either a tension and/or
    shear load application.
  3. Locate the anchor embedment (E) used for either a tension and/or shear
    load application.
  4. Locate the edge distance (Cact) at which the anchor is to be installed.
  5. The load adjustment factor (fc) is the intersection of the row and column.
  6. Multiply the allowable load by the applicable load adjustment factor(s).
  7. Reduction factors for multiple edges are multiplied together.
 
Tension Load Normal Weight Concrete Edge Distance
Edge Distance Tension (fc)
Edge Distance Tension

The tabled adjustment values (fc) have been calculated using the following information:

  1. E = embedment depth (inches).
  2. Cact = actual edge distance at which anchor is installed (inches).
  3. Ccr = critical edge distance for 100% load (inches).
  4. Cmin = minimum edge distance for reduced load (inches).
  5. fc = percent of allowable load at actual edge distance.
  6. fccr = percentage of allowable load at critical edge distance. fccr is always = 1.00.
  7. fcmin = percent of allowable load at minimum edge distance.
  8. fc = fcmin + [(1 - fcmin) (Cact - Cmin) / (Ccr - Cmin)].
 
 
Shear Load Normal Weight Concrete Edge Distance
Edge Distance Shear (fc)
Edge Distance Shear

The tabled adjustment values (fc) have been calculated using the following information:

  1. E = embedment depth (inches).
  2. Cact = actual edge distance at which anchor is installed (inches).
  3. Ccr = critical edge distance for 100% load (inches).
  4. Cmin = minimum edge distance for reduced load (inches).
  5. fc = percent of allowable load at actual edge distance.
  6. fccr = percentage of allowable load at critical edge distance. fccr is always = 1.00.
  7. fcmin = percent of allowable load at minimum edge distance.
  8. fc = fcmin + [(1 - fcmin) (Cact - Cmin) / (Ccr - Cmin)].
