- 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).
- 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.
- The minimum specified compressive strength of masonry, f'm, at 28 days is 1,500 psi.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not use impact wrenches to install in hollow CMU.
