Shear Loads for Carbon Steel Wedge-All (and Tie-Wire) Anchors in Normal-Weight Concrete
  1. The allowable loads listed are based on a safety factor of 4.0.
  2. Allowable loads may be increased by 33 1/3% for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces where permitted by code.
  3. Refer to allowable load adjustment factors for spacing and edge distance.
  4. Drill bit diameter used in base material corresponds to nominal anchor diameter.
  5. Allowable loads may be linearly interpolated between concrete strengths listed.
  6. Allowable loads for 1/4-inch size at 1 1/8-inch embedment apply to both the Wedge-All and Tie-Wire anchors. Installation torque does not apply to the Tie-Wire anchor.
  7. The minimum concrete thickness is 1 1/2 times the embedment depth.
