1. The tabulated allowable loads are based on a safety factor of 5.0 for installations under the IBC and IRC. For installations under the UBC use a safety factor of 4.0 (multiply the tabulated allowable loads by 1.25).
2. Values are for 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.
3. The masonry units must be fully grouted with grout complying with UBC Section 2103.4 or IBC section 2103.8.
4. The minimum specified compressive strength of masonry, f'm, at 28 days is 1,500 psi.
5. Allowable loads may be increased 33 1/3% for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces where permitted by code.
6. Grout filled CMU wall design must satisfy applicable design standards and be capable of withstanding applied design loads.
7. Loads are based on anchor installed in either the web or grout filled cell opening in the top of wall.
