Tension Load Shear Load Concrete Block (CMU)
8-inch Lightweight, Medium-Weight and Normal-Weight Hollow CMU
  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 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 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 and is based on the anchor being embedded an additional 1/2" through 1 1/4" thick face shell.
  5. Allowable loads may not be increased for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces. CMU wall design must satisfy applicable design standards and be capable of withstanding applied loads.
  6. Do not use impact wrenches to install in hollow CMU.
