Tension Loads in Normal-Weight Concrete Stemwall

1. Allowable load must be the lesser of the concrete or steel strength.
2. The allowable loads based on concrete strength are based on a factor of safety of 4.0.
3. The allowable load based on steel strength is limited by the strength of the coupler nut supplied with this anchor. Use of higher strength rod will not increase allowable loads.
4. Allowable loads may be increased 33 1/3% for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces where permitted by code.
5. The minimum concrete thickness is 1.5 times the embedment depth.
6. Tension and shear loads may be combined using the straight-line interaction equation (n=1).

Shear Loads in Normal-Weight Concrete Stemwall,
Load Applied Parallel to Concrete Edge

1. Install with a washer (not supplied with anchor) when used to resist shear loads.
2. The allowable load based on concrete edge distance is based on a factor of safety of 4.0. Steel strength does not control.
3. Allowable load may be increased 33 1/3% for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces where permitted by code.
4. The minimum concrete thickness is 1.5 times the embedment depth.
5. Tension and shear loads may be combined using the straight-line interaction equation (n=1).
