Titen Tension and Shear Load Values in Face Shell of Hollow and Grout-Filled 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. Spacing may be reduced 50% with a corresponding 50% reduction in allowable tension and shear load capacities.
  3. Edge distances may be reduced 50% with a corresponding 50% reduction in allowable tension and shear load capacities.
  4. Linear interpolation may be used for intermediate spacing and edge distances.
  5. Maximum anchor embedment is 1 1/2" (38.1 mm).
