INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FOR THE
THE DESIGNER
DESIGNER

a) The term Designer used throughout this catalog is intended to


mean a licensed/certified building design professional, a licensed
professional engineer, or a licensed architect.
b) All connected members and related elements shall be designed by
the Designer and must have sufficient strength (bending, shear, etc)
to resist the loads imposed by the anchors.
c) When the allowable stress design method is used, the design service
loads shall not exceed the published allowable loads.
d) When the ultimate strength design method is used, the factored
loads shall not exceed the design strengths calculated in accordance
with the published design data.
e) Simpson Strong-Tie strongly recommends the following addition
to construction drawings and specifications: Simpson Strong-Tie
products are specifically required to meet the structural calculations
of plan. Before substituting another brand, confirm load capacity
based on reliable published testing data or calculations. The
Engineer/Designer of Record should evaluate and give written
approval for substitution prior to installation.
f)

Local and/or regional building codes may require meeting special


conditions. Building codes often require special inspections of
anchors installed in concrete or masonry. For compliance with these
requirements, it is necessary to contact the local and/or regional
building authority. Except where mandated by code, Simpson
Strong-Tie products do not require special inspection.

g) Allowable loads and design strengths are determined from test


results, calculations, and experience. These are guide values for
sound base materials with known properties. Due to variation in
base materials and site conditions, site-specific testing should be
conducted if exact performance in a specific base material at a
specific site must be known.
h) Unless stated otherwise, tests conducted to derive performance
information were performed in members with minimum thickness
equal to 1.5 times the anchor embedment depth. Anchoring into
thinner members requires the evaluation and judgment of a qualified
Designer.
i)

j)

Tests are conducted with anchors installed perpendicular (6) to the


surface of the base material. Deviations can result in anchor bending
stresses and reduce the load carrying capacity of the anchor.
Allowable loads and design strengths do not consider bending
stresses due to shear loads applied with large eccentricities.

k) Metal anchors and fasteners will corrode and may lose load-carrying
capacity when installed in corrosive environments or exposed to
corrosive materials. See Supplemental Topic G3.
l)

Mechanical anchors should not be installed into concrete that is


less than 7 days old. The allowable loads and design strengths of
mechanical anchors that are installed into concrete less than 28
days old should be based on the actual compressive strength of the
concrete at the time of installation.

m) Nominal embedment depth (embedment depth) is the distance from


the surface of the base material to the installed end of the anchor
and is measured prior to application of an installation torgue (if
applicable). Effective embedment depth is the distance from the
surface of the base material to the deepest point at which the load is
transferred to the base material.
n) Drill bits shall meet the diameter requirements of ANSI B212.15. For
adhesive anchor installations in oversized holes, see Supplemental
Topic A1. For adhesive anchor installations into core-drilled holes,
see Supplemental Topic A2.
o) Threaded-rod inserts for adhesive anchors shall be UNC fully
threaded steel.
p) Allowable loads and design strengths are generally based on testing
of adhesive anchors installed into dry holes. For installations in
damp, wet and submerged environments, see Supplemental Topic
A3.
q) Adhesive anchors should not be installed into concrete that is
less than 7 days old. The allowable loads and design strengths of
adhesive anchors that are installed into concrete less than 28 days
old should be based on the actual compressive strength of the
concrete at the time load is applied.
r) Adhesive anchors can be affected by elevated base material
temperature. See Supplemental Topic A4.
s) Anchors are permitted to support fire-resistive construction provided
at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled: a) Anchors are
used to resist wind or seismic forces only. b) Anchors that support
gravity load-bearing structural elements are within a fire-resistancerated envelope or a fire-resistance-rated membrane, are protected by
approved fire-resistance rated materials, or have been evaluated for
resistance to fire exposure in accordance with recognized standards.
c) Anchors are used to support nonstructural elements.
t)

Some adhesives are not qualified for resisting long-term sustained


loads. These adhesives are for resisting short-term loads such as
wind or seismic loads only. See Supplemental Topic A5.

u) Exposure to some chemicals may degrade the bond strength of


adhesive anchors. Refer to the product description for chemical
resistance information. Information is also available through website,
Technical Bulletin T-SAS-CHEMRES.

SUPPLEMENTAL TOPICS FOR ANCHORS


GENERAL
G1. Base Materials
"Base material" is a generic industry term that refers to the element
or substrate to be anchored to. Base materials include concrete, brick,
concrete block (CMU) and structural tile, to name a few. The base material
will determine the type of fastener for the application. The most common
type of base material where adhesive and mechanical anchors are used is
concrete.

Concrete Concrete can be cast in place or precast concrete. Concrete


has excellent compressive strength, but relatively low tensile strength. Castin-place (or sometimes called "poured in place") concrete is placed in forms
erected on the building site. Cast-in-place concrete can be either normalweight or lightweight concrete. Lightweight concrete is specified when it is
desirable to reduce the weight of the building structure.

Lightweight concrete differs from normal-weight concrete by the weight of


aggregate used in the mixture. Normal-weight concrete has a unit weight of
approximately 2400kg per cubic meter compared to approximately 1837kg
per cubic meter for lightweight concrete.
The type of aggregate used in concrete can affect the tension capacity
of an adhesive anchor. Presently, the relationship between aggregate
properties and anchor performance is not well understood. A recent study
based on a limited test program has shown that in relative terms, concrete
with harder and more dense aggregates tend to yield greater anchor tension
capacities. Conversely, use of softer, less dense aggregates tends to
result in lower anchor tension capacities. Research in this area is ongoing.
Test results should not be assumed to be representative of expected
performance in all types of
concrete aggregate.

These general instructions for the designer are provided to ensure the
proper selection and installation of Simpson Strong-Tie products and must
be followed carefully. These general instructions are in addition to the
specific design and installation instructions and notes provided for each
particular product, all of which should be consulted prior to and during the
design process.

SUPPLEMENTAL TOPICS FOR ANCHORS


Prefabricated concrete is also referred to as "precast concrete". Precast
concrete can be made at a prefabricating plant or site-cast in forms
constructed on the job. Precast concrete members may be solid or may
contain hollow cores. Many precast components have thinner cross sections
than cast in place concrete. Precast concrete may be either normal or
lightweight concrete. Reinforced concrete contains steel bars, cable, wire
mesh or random glass fibers. The addition of reinforcing material enables
concrete to resist tensile stresses which lead to cracking.
The compressive strength of concrete varies according to the proportions
of the components in the mixture. The desired compressive strength of the
concrete will be specified according to the application. Water and cement
content of the mix is the main determinant of the compressive strength.
The compressive strength of concrete can range from 13.8 MPa to over
138 MPa, depending on the mixture and how it is cured. Most concrete mixes
are designed to obtain the desired properties within 28 days after being cast.
Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) Block is typically formed with large
hollow cores. Block with a minimum 75% solid cross section is called solid
block even though it contains hollow cores. In many parts of the country
building codes require steel reinforcing bars to be placed in the hollow
cores, and the cores to be filled solid with grout.

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

In some areas of the world, past practice was to mix concrete with coal
cinders to make cinder blocks. Although cinder blocks are no longer made,
there are many existing buildings where they can be found. Cinder blocks
require special attention as they soften with age.
Brick Clay brick is formed solid or with hollow cores. The use of either
type will vary in different parts of the world. Brick can be difficult to drill
and anchor into. Most brick is hard and brittle. Old, red clay brick is often
very soft and is easily over-drilled. Either of these situations can cause
problems in drilling and anchoring. The most common use of brick today
is for building facades (curtain wall or brick veneer) and not for structural
applications. Brick facade is attached to the structure by the use of brick ties
spaced at intervals throughout the wall. In older buildings, multiple widths,
or wythes of solid brick were used to form the structural walls. Three and
four wythe walls were common wall thicknesses.
Clay Tile Clay tile block is formed with hollow cores and narrow cavity
wall cross sections. Clay tile is very brittle, making drilling difficult without
breaking the block. Caution must be used in attempting to drill and fasten
into clay tile.

G2. Anchor failure modes


Anchor Failure Modes
The failure modes for both mechanical and adhesive anchors depends
on a number of factors including the anchor type and geometry, anchor
material mechanical properties, base material mechanical properties, loading
type and direction, edge distance, spacing and embedment depth.
Six different failure modes are generally observed for mechanical and
adhesive anchors installed in concrete under tension loading: concrete cone
breakout, concrete edge breakout, concrete splitting, anchor slip, adhesive
bond, and steel fracture. Three failure modes are generally observed for
mechanical and adhesive anchors installed in concrete under shear loading:
concrete edge breakout, pryout and steel failure.

mode is also observed for groups of mechanical and adhesive anchors


installed at less than critical spacing.
Concrete Edge Breakout Failure
This failure mode is observed for both mechanical and adhesive anchors
installed at less than critical edge distance under either tension or shear
loading. For this failure mode neither the adhesive nor mechanical anchor
fail, but rather the concrete fails. According to Simpson Strong-Tie testing,
the tension load at which failure occurs is correlated to the concrete
aggregate performance. Other factors may also influence tension load.
Concrete Splitting Failure
This failure mode is observed for both mechanical and adhesive anchors
installed in a "thin" concrete member under tension loading.
Anchor Slipping Failure
This failure mode is observed for mechanical anchors under tension
loading in which the anchor either pulls out of the member (e.g.- a Drop-In
Anchor installed through metal deck and into a concrete fill) or the anchor
body pulls through the expansion clip (e.g.- a Wedge Anchor Throughbolt
anchor installed at a deep embedment depth in concrete).
Adhesive Bond Failure
This failure mode is observed for adhesive anchors under tension loading
in which a shallow concrete cone breakout is observed along with an
adhesive bond failure at the adhesive/base material interface. The concretecone breakout is not the primary failure mechanism.
Steel Fracture
This failure mode is observed for both mechanical and adhesive anchors
under tension or shear loading where the concrete member thickness and
mechanical properties along with the anchor embedment depth, edge distance,
spacing, and adhesive bond strength (as applicable), preclude base material
failure.
Pryout Failure
This failure mode is observed for both mechanical and adhesive anchors
installed at shallow embedment under shear loading.

G3. Corrosion resistance


Metal anchors and fasteners will corrode and may lose load-carrying
capacity when installed in corrosive environments or exposed to corrosive
materials. There are many environments and materials which may cause
corrosion including ocean salt air, fire-retardants, fumes, fertilizers,
preservative-treated wood, dissimilar metals, and other corrosive elements.
Some types of preservative-treated woods and fire-retardant woods are
known to be especially caustic to zinc and can cause anchors and fasteners
to deteriorate. Zinc-coated anchors and fasteners should not be placed in
contact with treated wood unless the treated wood is adequately verified to
be suitable for such contact. Contact wood supplier for further information.
Some products are available with additional coating options or in
stainless steel to provide additional corrosion resistance.
Highly-hardened fasteners can experience premature failure due to
hydrogen-assisted stress corrosion cracking when loaded in environments
producing hydrogen. Simpson Strong-Tie recommends that such fasteners
be used in dry, interior and non-corrosive environments only.

Concrete Cone Breakout Failure


This failure mode is observed for both mechanical and adhesive anchors
installed at shallow embedment depths under tension loading. This failure

MECHANICAL ANCHORS
M1. Pre-Load Relaxation
Expansion anchors that have been set to the required installation torque
in concrete will experience a reduction in pre-tension (due to torque) within
several hours. This is known as pre-load relaxation. The high compression
stresses placed on the concrete cause it to deform which results in a

relaxation of the pre-tension force in the anchor. Tension in this context


refers to the internal stresses induced in the anchor as a result of applied
torque and does not refer to anchor capacity. Historical data shows it is
normal for the initial tension values to decrease by as much as 4060%
within the first few hours after installation. Retorquing the anchor to the
initial installation torque is not recommended, or necessary.

A2. Core-Drilled Holes


The performance data for adhesive anchors are based upon anchor
tests in which holes were drilled with carbide-tipped drill bits. Additional
static tension tests were conducted to qualify anchors installed with ET
anchoring adhesive for installation in holes drilled with diamond-core bits.
In these tests the diameter of the diamond-core bit matched the diameter
of the carbide-tipped drill bit recommended in the products load table. The
test results showed that no reduction of the published allowable tension
load for ET anchoring adhesive is necessary for this condition. The same
conclusions also apply to the published allowable shear loads. Please note
that the use of core-drilled holes is NOT permitted for anchors installed with
SET-XP .

A3. Installation in Damp, Wet and Submerged Environments


SET-XP: The performance data for adhesive anchors using SET-XP
epoxy anchoring adhesive are based upon tests according to ICC-ES AC308.
This criterion requires adhesive anchors that are to be installed in outdoor
environments to be tested in water-saturated concrete holes that have
been cleaned with less than the amount of hole cleaning recommended
by the manufacturer. A products sensitivity to this installation condition
is considered in determining the products Anchor Category (strength
reduction factor).
Based on Reliability Testing per ICC-ES AC308
Dry Concrete Cured concrete whose moisture content is in
equilibrium with surrounding non-precipitate atmospheric conditions.
Water-Saturated Concrete Cured concrete whose internal aggregate
materials are soaked with moisture.
Submerged Concrete Cured concrete that is covered with water and
water saturated.
Water-Filled Hole Drilled hole in water-saturated concrete that is
clean yet contains standing water at the time of installation.
ET, AT-HP and KLP: The performance data for adhesive anchors using
ET, AT-HP and KLP adhesives are based upon tests in which anchors are
installed in dry holes. Additional static tension tests were conducted for
some products in damp holes, water-filled holes and submerged holes. The
test results show that no reduction of the published allowable tension load
is necessary for ET adhesive in damp holes. For ET adhesive in submerged
holes, the test results show that a reduction factor of 0.60 is applicable. The
same conclusions also apply to the published allowable shear load values.
Based on Service Condition Testing per ICC-ES AC58
Dry Concrete Cured concrete whose moisture content is in
equilibrium with surrounding non-precipitate atmospheric conditions.
Damp Hole - A damp hole, as defined in ASTM E1512 and referenced
in ICC-ES AC58, is a drilled hole that has been properly drilled, cleaned
and then is filled with standing water for seven days. After seven days,
the standing water is blown out of the hole with compressed air and
the adhesive anchor is installed.
Water-Filled Hole - A water-filled hole is defined similarly to a damp
hole; however, the standing water is not blown out of the hole.
Instead, the adhesive is injected directly into the water-filled hole
(from the bottom of the hole up) and the insert is installed.

Submerged Hole - A submerged hole is similar to a water-filled hole


with one major exception in addition to standing water within the
hole; water also completely covers the surface of the base material as
well. Note that drilling debris and sludge should be removed from the
drilled hole prior to installation. ASTM E1512 and ICC-ES AC58 do not
address this condition.

A4. Elevated In-Service Temperature


The performance of all adhesive anchors is affected by elevated base
material temperature. The in-service temperature sensitivity table provided
for each adhesive provides the information necessary to apply the
appropriate load-adjustment factor to either the allowable tension based on
bond strength or allowable shear based on concrete edge distance based
for a given base material temperature. While there is no commonly used
method to determine the exact load-adjustment factor, there are a few
guidelines to keep in mind when designing an anchor that will be subject to
elevated base-material temperature. In any case, the final decision must be
made by a qualified design professional using sound engineering judgment:
When designing an anchor connection to resist wind and/or
seismic forces only, the effect of fire (elevated temperature) may be
disregarded.
The base-material temperature represents the average internal
temperature and hence, the temperature along the entire bonded
length of the anchor.
The effects of elevated temperature may be temporary. If the
in-service temperature of the base material is elevated such that a
load-adjustment factor is applicable, but over time the temperature
is reduced to a temperature below which a load-adjustment factor
is applicable, the full allowable load based on bond strength is

has not been reached.

A5. Creep Under Long-Term Loads


Creep is the slow continuous deformation of a material under constant
stress. Creep occurs in many construction materials, including concrete
and steel when the stress is great enough. The creep characteristics of
adhesives are product dependent. Adhesive anchors that are not creep
resistant can pull out slowly over time when sustained tensile loads are
applied.
Because of the creep phenomenon, it is important for Designers to
consider the nature of the applied tension loads and to determine if the
tension loads will be continuously applied to the anchor over the long-term.
If this is the case, a product that is suitable for resisting sustained loads
over the long-term must be selected.
All Simpson Strong-Tie anchoring adhesives (SET-XP, ET and AT-HP)
have been qualified for resisting long-term loads through ETA or ICC-ES or
AC58 or AC308 creep tests in which an anchor is loaded and monitored
for movement over time. According to AC58 and AC308, anchors that pass
the creep test are determined to be suitable for resisting long-term tensile
loads.

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

The performance data for adhesive anchors are based upon anchor
tests in which holes were drilled with carbide-tipped drill bits of the same
diameter listed in the products load table. Additional static tension tests
were conducted to qualify anchors installed with ET adhesive for installation
in holes with diameters larger than those listed in the load tables. The tables
indicate the acceptable range of drilled-hole sizes and the corresponding
allowable tension-load reduction factor (if any). The same conclusions also
apply to the published allowable shear load values. Drilled holes outside
of the range shown below are not recommended. Please note that the use
of oversized holes is NOT permitted for anchors installed with SET-XP
adhesive.

CORROSION INFORMATION

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES


Metal anchors and fasteners will corrode and may lose load-carrying
capacity when installed in corrosive environments or exposed to corrosive
materials. There are many environments and materials which may cause
corrosion including ocean salt air, fire-retardants, fumes, fertilizers,
preservative-treated wood, dissimilar metals, and other corrosive elements.
The many variables present in a single building environment make it
impossible to accurately predict if, or when, significant corrosion will
begin or reach a critical level. This relative uncertainty makes it crucial that
specifiers and users be knowledgeable of the potential risks and select a
product coating or metal suitable for the intended use. It is also important
that regular maintenance and periodic inspections are performed, especially
for outdoor applications.
It is common to see some corrosion on anchors and fasteners especially
in outdoor applications. Even stainless steel can corrode. The presence
of some corrosion does not mean that load capacity has necessarily been
affected or that a failure will occur. If significant corrosion is apparent or
suspected, then the wood, anchors and fasteners should be inspected by a
professional engineer or general contractor and may need to be replaced.
In the last several years, preservative-treated wood formulations have
changed significantly. Many of the new formulations are more corrosive to
steel anchors and fasteners than the traditionally used formulation of CCA-C.
Simpson Strong-Tie testing has shown that ACQ-C, ACQ-D (Carbonate),
CBA-A and CA-B treated woods are approximately 2 times more corrosive
than CCA-C, while SBX-DOT (Sodium Borate) treated woods were shown to
be less corrosive than CCA-C. (See technical bulletin T-PTWOOD for details).
GENERAL SIMPSON STRONG-TIE RECOMMENDATIONS
Outdoor environments are generally more corrosive to steel. If you
choose to use MG or HDG finish on an outdoor project (i.e. structure ,
railing), you should periodically inspect your anchors and fasteners or
have a professional inspection performed. Regular maintenance including
water-proofing of the wood used in your outdoor project is also a good
practice.
For wood with actual retention levels greater than 0.40 pcf for ACQ
and MCQ, 0.41 pcf for CBA-A, or 0.21 pcf for CA-B (ground contact),
stainless-steel anchors and fasteners are recommended. Verify actual
retention level with the wood treater.

Due to the many different preservative-treatment formulations, fluctuating


retention levels, moisture content, and because the formulations may vary
regionally, or change without warning, understanding which anchors and
fasteners to use with these materials has become a complex task. We
have attempted to provide basic knowledge on the subject here, but it is
important to fully educate yourself by reviewing our technical bulletins on
the topic, and also by viewing information and literature provided by others.
Additionally, because the issue is evolving, it is important to get the very
latest anchor and fastener information on the topic by visiting our website at
www.strongtie.com/info.
Stainless steel is always the most effective solution to corrosion risk.
However, it is also more expensive and sometimes more difficult to obtain.
To best serve our customers, Simpson Strong-Tie is evaluating the options
to identify the safest and most cost-effective solutions. Based on our testing
and experience there are some specific applications that are appropriate for
hot-dip galvanized (HDG), mechanically galvanized (MG) or electroplated
anchors (see chart below).
Because increased corrosion from some newer preservative-treated
wood is a new issue with little historical data, we have to base our
recommendations on the testing and experience we have to date. It is
possible that as we learn more, our recommendations may change, but
these recommendations are based on the best information we have at this
time.
See www.strongtie.com/info for additional critical information.

Testing indicates wood installed dry reduces potential corrosion. If dry


wood is used, see our website for additional information.
Due to the many variables involved, Simpson Strong-Tie cannot provide
estimates on service life of anchors or fasteners. We suggest that all users
and specifiers also obtain recommendations for HDG, MG, or other coatings
from the treated-wood supplier for the type of wood used. However, as long
as Simpson Strong-Tie recommendations are followed, Simpson Strong-Tie
stands behind its product performance and the standard limited warranty
(page 10) applies.

than outdoor environments. Determining the type of environment where an anchor
or fastener will be used is an important factor in selecting the most
appropriate material and finish for use on the anchors and fasteners. To help in
your decision making, consider the following general exposure information:
Interior Dry Use: Includes wall and ceiling cavities, and raised floor
applications of enclosed buildings that have been designed to ensure that
condensation and other sources of moisture do not develop.
Exterior - Dry: Includes outdoor installations in low-rainfall environments
and no regular exposure to moisture.
Exterior - Wet: Includes outdoor installations in higher moisture and rainfall
environments.
Higher Exposure Use: Includes exposure to ocean-salt air, large bodies of
water, fumes, fertilizers, soil, some preservative-treated woods, industrial
zones, acid rain, and other corrosive elements.

Evaluate and select a suitable preservative-treated wood for


the intended application and environment.
The treated- wood supplier should provide all the information needed
regarding the wood being used. This information should include: the specific
type of wood treatment used, if ammonia was used in the treatment, and the
chemical retention level. If the needed information is not provided then
Simpson Strong-Tie would recommend the use of stainless-steel anchors and
fasteners. You should also ask the treated-wood supplier for an anchor or
fastener coating or material recommendation.

Use the chart on the right, which was created based on Simpson
Strong-Tie testing and experience to select the anchor or fastener
finish or material.

or other product use information; Simpson Strong-Tie expresses no opinion
regarding any such information.

1. Woods with actual retention levels greater than 0.40 pcf for ACQ and MCQ, 0.41

2. Borate treated woods are not appropriate for outdoor use.
3. Test results indicate that MG/HDG will perform adequately, subject to regular
maintenance and periodic inspection. However, the test method used is an
accelerated test, so data over an extended period of time is not available.
If uncertain, use 304 (A2) or 316 (A4) stainless steel.
4. Some treated wood may have excess surface chemicals making it potentially
more corrosive. If you suspect this or are uncertain, use 304 (A2) or 316 (A4)
stainless steel.
5. Mechanically-galvanized Titen HD anchors are only recommended for
temporary exterior applications.

ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN (ASD) METHOD


In allowable stress design (ASD), the Designer must size the anchorage
such that the service load does not exceed the allowable load for any anchor:
Tservice Tallowable
Vservice Vallowable

For some anchors, the average ultimate load and/or allowable load is also
controlled by anchor displacement limits.
The allowable loads for steel inserts used with adhesive anchors is
determined as follows:
For threaded rod: Tallowable = 0.33 FuAg ; Vallowable = 0.17FuAg
For Grade 60 rebar: Tallowable = (165 MPa)Ag ;
Vallowable = 0.17(620 MPa)Ag
Where:
Ag = Gross cross-sectional area of the insert

For anchors subjected to simultaneous tension and shear loading, the


following equation must be satisfied, where the value of n is productspecific. Use a value of n=1 unless otherwise specified in the applicable
products load table.

Tservice n
Vservice n
+
1.0
Tallowable Vallowable

Linear interpolation of allowable loads between embedment depths and/


or compressive strengths shown in the load tables is permitted. Linear
interpolation of load-adjustment factors in the edge distance and spacing
tables is also permitted.
The allowable loads in this catalog are derived from full-scale testing,
calculations, and/or experience. In general, the allowable load is determined
by taking the average ultimate load from full scale tests and dividing by a
safety factor ().

strength of the anchor or anchor group considering all possible failure modes.
Nua Nn
Vua Vn

Calculations are performed in accordance with the applicable design


standards: ICC-ES AC193 and ACI 318 Appendix D for mechanical anchors
and ICC-ES AC308 for adhesive and torque-controlled adhesive anchors. The
additional design provisions of AC308 are shown elsewhere in this catalog.
The nominal strengths and design data in this catalog are derived from
full-scale testing and calculations in accordance with ACI 355.2, ICC-ES AC193
and ICC-ES AC308. In general, nominal strengths are 5% fractile strengths
calculated using the average ultimate load, and standard deviation of full-scale
test results. A 5% fractile strength is the nominal strength for which there is a
90% confidence that there is a 95% probability of the actual strength exceeding
the nominal strength.
For anchors that are designed using ACI 318 Appendix D, AC193, or AC308,
it is possible to convert design strengths (i.e. Nn or Vn) to
allowable loads using the following approach from AC193 (dated February
2008) and AC308 (dated February 2008):

The Designer must read the allowable load from the applicable table and
adjust the allowable load for all applicable design parameters for the anchor,
such as spacing, edge distance, in-service temperature or allowable-stress
increase for short-term loads. Load-adjustment factors for anchors are
applied cumulatively. For adhesive anchors, the designer must also ensure
that the service load does not exceed the allowable load of the steel insert.

SET-XP Structural Epoxy-Tie Anchoring Adhesive for Cracked and Uncracked Concrete
SET-XP is a 1:1 two component, high solids epoxy-based anchoring
adhesive formulated for optimum performance in both cracked and
uncracked concrete. SET-XP adhesive has been rigorously tested in
accordance with ICC-ES AC308, 2009 IBC and ETAG requirements and
has proven to offer increased reliability in the most adverse conditions,
including performance in cracked concrete under static and seismic
loading. SET-XP adhesive is teal in color in order to be identified as a
high-performance adhesive for adverse conditions. Resin and hardener
are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle.
SET-XP adhesive exceeds the ASTM C881 specification for Type I and
Type IV, Grade 3, Class C epoxy.

- IMPORTANT SEE Pages 15-16


FOR INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

USES: When SET-XP adhesive is used with the RFB anchor, all
thread rod or rebar, the system can be used in tension and
seismic zones where there is a risk of cracks occurring that
pass through the anchor location. It is also suitable for
uncracked concrete conditions.
CODES: ICC-ES ESR-2508; City of L.A. pending; Florida FL 11506.5
NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (313 cm2/1000 L).
The load tables list values
based upon results from the most recent testing and may not reflect
those in current code reports. Where code jurisdictions apply, consult the
current reports for applicable load values. ETA-11/0360.
APPLICATION: Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean. The basematerial temperature must be 10 C or above at the time of installation.
For best results, material should be 2127 C at the time of application.
Cartridges should not be immersed in water to facilitate warming.
To warm cold material, the cartridges should be stored in a warm,
uniformly-heated area or storage container for a sufficient time to allow
epoxy to warm completely. Mixed material in nozzle can harden in 57
minutes at a temperature of 4 C or above.

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

INSTALLATION: See pages 15-16.


SHELF LIFE: 24 months from date of manufacture in unopened side-byside cartridge.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: For best results, store between 732 C. To
store partially used cartridges, leave hardened nozzle in place. To re-use,
attach new nozzle.
COLOR: Resin white, hardener black-green. When properly mixed,
SET-XP adhesive will be a uniform teal color.
CLEAN UP: Uncured material Wipe up with cotton cloth. If desired,
scrub area with abrasive, waterbased cleaner and flush with water. If
approved, solvents such as ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.), lacquer thinner
or adhesive remover can be used. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN
ADHESIVE FROM SKIN. Take appropriate precautions when handling
flammable solvents.
Solvents may damage surfaces to which they are applied.
Cured Material chip or grind off surface.

* The values given in Table 7 are valid for "good bond conditions" according to EN 1992-1-1.
For all other conditions the values shall be multiplies by 0.7.
* Minimum concrete cover: Cmin = 30 + 0.06 lv 2 x [mm]
Minimum clear spacing between two post-installed rebars: a = 40mm 4 x

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approvals and a partial safety factor for actions . The permissible loads are valid
for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef and 60d) concrete edge failure must be checked
per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be performed. For
details, see approvals ETA-11/0150 and ETA-11/0151.
5) Minimum anchorage length for anchoring rebar: lb,min = 1.5 x max {0.3 x lb,rqd; 10 ; 100 mm}
Minimum lap length for overlap joint: l0,min = 1.5 x max {0.3 x 6 x lb,rqd; 15 ; 200 mm}.
The values given in the Table are valid for "good bond conditions" according to EN 1992-1-1. For all other conditions the values shall be multiplied by 0.7.
6) Minimum concrete cover: Cmin = 30+0.06 lv 2 x [mm]

ADHESIVE RETAINING CAPS


Adhesive retaining caps make overhead and horizontal installation
easier by preventing the adhesive from running out of the hole.
They also center the rod in the hole, making them ideal for
applications where precise anchor placement is required.
It may be necessary to provide support for the insert during
cure time. Adhesive retaining caps are not designed to support
the weight of the insert in overhead installations.

Injection Epoxy

ETI injection epoxies are specially designed formulations for the


injection and repair of cracks in concrete. ETI epoxies are twocomponent, 1:1 ratio, high solids formulations. They are available in
650ml side-by-side cartridges and are dispensed through a static mixing
nozzle using a manual or pneumatic dispensing tool. ETI is available
in two viscosities: ETI-LV (low viscosity) and ETI-GV (gel viscosity) to
handle a wide range of crack widths. Properly installed, they provide a
repair that is both waterproof and high strength (structural).

EPOXY-TIE CRACK REPAIR

Method Statement

Important: These instructions are intended as recommended guidelines. Due to the variability of field conditions,
selection of the proper material for the intended application and installation are the sole responsibility of the applicator.

Materials
ETI-LV for repair of fine to medium-width cracks
(Suggested width range: 0.4mm6mm).
ETI-GV for repair of medium-width cracks
(Suggested width range: 2.4mm6mm)
E-Z-Click injection ports, fittings and other suitable accessories.

Sealing of the Crack and Attachment of E-Z-Click injection ports


1. To adhere the port to the concrete, apply a small
amount of epoxy around the bottom of the
1
port base. Place the port at one end of the
crack and repeat until the entire crack is
ported. As a rule of thumb, injection ports
should be placed 200mm apart along the length
of the crack.
Important: Do not allow epoxy to block
the port or the crack under it, this is
where epoxy must enter the crack.
2. Using a putty knife or other paste-over
tool, generously work epoxy along the
entire length of the crack. Take care to
mound the epoxy around the base of the
port to approximately 6mm thick extending
25mm out from the base of the port and to
work out any holes in the material. It is
recommended that the paste-over should
be a minimum of 5mm thick and 25mm wide
along the crack. Insufficient paste-over will
result in leaks under the pressure of injection.
If the crack passes completely through the
concrete element, seal the back of the crack,
if possible. If not, epoxy may be able to run
out the back side of the crack, resulting
in an ineffective repair.

Preparation of the Crack for Injection


Clean the crack and the surface surrounding it to allow the epoxy to bond to
sound concrete. At a minimum, the surface to receive paste-over should be
brushed with a wire brush. Oil, grease or other surface contaminates must
be removed in order to allow the paste-over to bond properly. Take care
not to impact any debris into the crack during cleaning. Using clean, oil free
compressed air, blow out the crack to remove any dust, debris or standing
water. Best results will be obtained if the crack is dry at the time of injection.
If water is continually seeping from the crack, the flow must be stopped in
order for epoxy injection to yield a suitable repair. Other materials such as
polyurethane resins may be required to repair an actively leaking crack.
For many applications, additional preparation is necessary in order to seal
the crack. Where a surfacing material has been removed using an acid or
chemical solvent, prepare the crack as follows:
1. Using clean, compressed air, blow out any remaining debris and liquid.
2. Remove residue by high-pressure washing or steam cleaning.
3. Blow any remaining water from the crack with clean compressed air.

1.1

3. Allow the paste-over to harden before


beginning injection.

If a coating, sealant or paint has been applied to the concrete it must be


removed before placing the paste-over epoxy. Under the pressure of injection
these materials may lift and cause a leak. If the surface coating is covering the
crack, it may be necessary to route out the opening of the crack in a V shape
using a grinder in order to get past the surface contamination.

Injection Procedure for ETI-LV and ETI-GV Injection Epoxy


1. Follow cartridge preparation instructions on the cartridge label. Verify
that the material flowing from the Opti-Mix mixing nozzle is a uniform
gray color for ETI-LV and ETI-GV.
2. Attach the E-Z-Click fitting to the end of the nozzle by pushing the
tubing over the barbs at the end of the nozzle. Make sure that all ports
are pushed in to the open position.
3. Attach the E-Z-Click injection fitting to the
first E-Z-Click port until it clicks into place.
Make sure that the heads of all the ports are
pushed in to the open position. In vertical
applications, begin injection at the lowest
port and work your way up. In a horizontal
application start at one end of the crack
and work your way to the other end.
4. Inject epoxy into the first port until it will no
longer flow into the crack. If epoxy shows at
the next port and the first port still accepts
material, close the second port and continue
to inject into the first port until it accepts no
more epoxy. Continue closing ports where
epoxy appears until the first port refuses
epoxy. When the first port reaches the point
of refusal, brace the base of the port and pull
out gently on the head of the port to close it.

42

Pulling too hard may dislodge the port from the surface of the
concrete, causing a leak. Depress the metal tab on the head of
the E-Z-Click fitting and remove it from the port.
5. Go to the last port where epoxy appeared while injecting the first port,
open it, and continue injection at this port. If the epoxy has set up and
the port is bonded closed, move to the next clean port and repeat the
process until every portion of the crack has refused epoxy.
While this method may appear to leave some ports uninjected, it provides
maximum pressure to force the epoxy into the smaller areas of the crack.
Moving to the next port as soon as epoxy appears will allow the epoxy to
travel along the wider parts of the crack to the next ports rather than force
it into the crack before it travels to the next ports.
Injection Tips
If using a pneumatic dispensing tool, set the tool at a low setting
when beginning injection and increase pressure if necessary to get
the epoxy to flow.
For narrow cracks it may be necessary to increase the pressure
gradually until the epoxy begins to flow. It may also be necessary to wait
a few minutes for the epoxy to fill the crack and travel to the next port.
If desired, once the injection epoxy has cured, remove the injection ports
and paste-over epoxy. The epoxy can be removed with a chisel, scraper,
or grinder. Using a heat gun to soften the epoxy is recommended when
using a chisel or scraper.
Mixing nozzles can be used for multiple cartridges as long as the
epoxy does not harden in the nozzle.

Epoxy injection is an economical method of repairing non-moving cracks


in concrete walls, slabs, columns and piers and is capable of restoring the
concrete to its pre-cracked strength. Prior to doing any injection it is necessary
to determine the cause of the crack. If the source of cracking has not been
determined and remedied, the concrete may crack again.

Use this guide as an estimate of the amount of Simpson


epoxy material you will need for your repair job.
This is an estimate only and your actual usage may vary
depending on the extent and depth of the crack.
Make sure back side of crack in the concrete is properly
sealed to avoid injected material running through and being
wasted.

CRACK-PAC FLEX-H2O Polyurethane Crack Sealer


Crack-Pac Flex-H20 is a high solids hydrophobic polyurethane injection resin
designed to seal leaking cracks, voids or fractures in concrete or solid masonry.
The polyurethane is packaged in the cartridge and an accelerator is packaged in the
nozzle. When the two are combined in the cartridge and mixed, the result is a low
viscosity, water activated polyurethane. When the resin encounters water as it is
injected into the crack, it becomes an expanding foam that provides a flexible seal
in leaking and non-leaking cracks.
FEATURES:
Seals seeping or mildly leaking cracks
400% elongation provides a flexible seal for moving cracks
Can be dispensed with a standard caulking tool
Can also be used on dry cracks
Can be used with a reduced amount or without accelerator to slow
down reaction time
Expands to fill voids and close off the back of the crack
Expanding nature makes it suitable for sealing cracks in solid masonry
Fast reacting - reaction begins within 1 minute after exposure to moisture;
expansion may be completed within 3 minutes (depending on the amount
of moisture and the ambient temperature).
Non-shrinking hydrophobic formula with the elongation
and flexibility of a hydrophilic resin
20:1 expansion ratio (unrestricted rise) means less material needed
APPLICATION: Suitable for sealing cracks ranging from 0.8mm to 6.4mm wide in
concrete and solid masonry. Can be used to repair cracks in dry, damp and
wet conditions with excellent results. Designed to perform in applications
where water is seeping or mildly leaking from the crack.

CRACK-PAC FLEX-H2O Method Statement


Application
Polyurethane injection is an effective and economical method of sealing
cracks in concrete and solid masonry elements. Crack-Pac Flex-H20 crack
sealer is suitable for sealing dry, wet, seeping and mildly leaking cracks in
horizontal and vertical concrete and solid masonry elements ranging from
0.8mm - 6mm.
Definitions:
Dry Cracka crack containing no moisture
Wet Cracka crack containing moisture (damp or containing standing
water). The surface can be dried and will remain dry during the
paste-over operation.
Seeping Cracka wet crack that slowly oozes water. After being dried,
the surface slowly becomes wet again.
Mildly Leaking Cracka crack with a slow trickle of water emitting
from its face.
NOTE: Multiple applications may be necessary to fill all voids.

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

Dry or Wet Crack Application - Sealing of the crack and attachment


of E-Z-Click flush mount injection ports (Model EIP-EZ or EIP-EZA)
1. To adhere the port to the concrete,
apply a small amount of epoxy around
the bottom of the port base. Place the
port at one end of the crack and repeat
until the entire crack is ported. As a rule
of thumb, injection ports should be placed
20cm apart along the length of the crack.
Important: Do not allow epoxy to block
the port or the crack under it, this is
where adhesive must enter the crack.
2. Using a putty knife or other paste-over
tool, generously work epoxy along the
entire length of the crack. Take care to
mound the epoxy around the base of
ports and to work out any holes in the
material. It is recommended that the
paste-over should be a minimum of 3mm
thick and 25mm wide. Insufficient paste-over
will result in leaks under the pressure of
injection. Allow the paste-over to cure
before beginning injection.

Preparation of the Crack for Injection


Clean the crack and the surface surrounding it to allow the paste-up
material to bond to sound concrete. At a minimum, the surface to receive
paste-over should be brushed with a wire brush. Oil, grease or other surface
contaminates must be removed in order to allow the paste-over to bond
properly. Take care not to impact any debris into the crack during cleaning.
With dry cracks, use clean, oil free compressed air to blow out as much
dust and debris from the crack.
For many applications, additional preparation is necessary in order to seal
the crack. Where a surfacing material has been removed using an acid or
chemical solvent, prepare the crack as follows:
1. Using clean, compressed air, blow out any remaining debris and
liquid.
2. Remove residue by high-pressure washing or steam cleaning.
3. Blow any remaining water from the crack with clean compressed air.
If a coating, sealant or paint has been applied to the concrete it must be
removed before placing the paste-over material. Under the pressure of
injection these materials may lift and cause a leak. If the surface coating is
covering the crack, it may be necessary to route out the surface of the crack
in a "V" shape using a grinder in order to get past the surface contamination.

Seeping Crack Application - Sealing of the crack and attachment


of E-Z-Click flush mount injection ports (Model EIP-EZ)

1. Mix a small amount of quick-setting hydraulic cement with water in a


container per manufacturer's recommendation (leave cement thick so
it can be molded). Apply the cement generously to the top of the port
flange and hold the port onto the concrete/masonry surface at one end
of the crack until it sticks when the hand is released (usually about
1 minute). Repeat until the entire crack is sealed and ported.
IMPORTANT: Be sure not to cover the port opening/closing interface
with the cement. If this interface is covered, the cement must be
cut away from this interface with a utility knife once it is cured,
otherwise, the port will not close.

1.1

2. To seal the remaining portions of the crack, mix small amounts of the
hydraulic cement and apply it to the crack in a similar fashion. It is
recommended that the paste-over be 5mm thick and 25mm
wide. Once the entire crack is covered, all leaking water should be
directed through the open ports. If water is leaking from any parts of
the paste-over, be sure to patch these areas with additional hydraulic
cement before injecting the crack.
Mildly Leaking Crack Application - Sealing of the crack and
attachment of E-Z-Click drill-in injection ports (Model EIPX-EZ)

3. For Dry Cracks- Crack-Pac Flex-H20 reacts


with water and needs moisture present
to cure. Therefore, if the crack to be sealed
is completely dry, water must be introduced
into it. Once ports are in place and the crack
surface is pasted over, use a syringe or
spray bottle to introduce approximately
1 ounce of water into each port.
Note: CIP and CIP-F and ETR epoxies are a
fast cure, manually mixed materials and may
harden prematurely if left in a mixed mass on
the mixing surface while installing ports.
Spreading paste-over into a thin film (approximately 3mm)
on the mixing surface will slow curing by allowing
the heat from the reaction to dissipate.

1. Using a hammer drill or roto-hammer, drill 16mm wide holes 19mm


deepat each end of the crack and along the crack approximately 20cm
apart.
2. Using the E-Z-Click Drilled-In port (model EIPX-EZ), gently pound the
port into the drilled hole at the top of a vertical crack or at either end
of a horizontal crack. Mix a small amount of quick-setting hydraulic
cement with water in a container per manufacturer's recommendation
(leave cement thick so it can be molded).
3. Apply the cement generously to the top of the port flange and hold
until it sticks when the hand is released (usually about 1 minute).
Repeat until the entire crack is sealed and ported. IMPORTANT: Be
sure not to cover the port opening/closing interface with the cement. If
this interface is covered, the cement must be cut away from this
interface with a utility knife once it is cured, otherwise, the port will
not close.
4. To seal the remaining portions of the crack, mix small amounts of the
hydraulic cement and apply it to the crack in a similar fashion. Starting
at one end and working toward the other. In vertical applications start
at the top and work down. It is recommended that the paste-over be at
least 5mm thick and 25mm wide. Once the entire crack is covered,
all leaking water should be directed through the open ports. If water is
leaking from any parts of the paste-over, be sure to patch these areas
with additional hydraulic cement before injecting the crack.

Injection Procedure for Crack-Pac Flex-H20 crack sealer

5. Move to the next port and repeat until all ports have been injected.

1. Follow cartridge preparation instructions on the cartridge label. Verify


that the material flowing from the nozzle is a uniform green color.
2. Attach the E-Z-Click fitting to the end of the nozzle by pushing the
tubing over the barbs at the end of the nozzle. Make sure that all ports
are pushed in to the open position.
3. Attach the E-Z-Click injection fitting to the
first E-Z-Click port until it clicks into place.
Make sure that the head of the port is
pushed in to the open position. In vertical
applications, begin injection at the lowest
port and work your way up. In a horizontal
application start at one end of the crack
and work your way to the other end.

4. Inject polyurethane into the first port until


material shows at the next port. Remove
the E-Z-Click fitting by bracing the base
of the port and pulling out gently on the
head of the port to close it. Pulling too
hard may dislodge the port from the
surface of the concrete, causing a leak.
Depress the metal tab on the head of
the E-Z-Click fitting and remove it from
the port.

Injection Tips
For narrow cracks it may be necessary to increase the pressure
gradually until the polyurethane begins to flow. It may also be
necessary to wait a few minutes for the material to fill the crack
and travel to the next port.
If desired, once the polyurethane has cured, remove the injection
ports and paste-over epoxy or hydraulic cement. The paste-over
can be removed with a chisel, scraper or grinder.

Troubleshooting
Polyurethane is flowing into the crack, but not showing up
at the next port.
This can indicate that either the crack expands and/or branches off
under the surface of the concrete. Continue to inject and fill these voids.

paste-over to begin to harden. If the leak is large (e.g. the port broke
off of the concrete surface) it is a good idea to wait approximately
30 minutes, or longer as necessary, to allow the paste-over to cure
more completely. Check to see that the paste-over is hard before
reinjecting or the paste-over or ports may leak.
Another option for small leaks is to clean off the injection adhesive
and use paraffin or crayon to seal the holes.

Back pressure is preventing polyurethane from flowing.


This can indicate several situations:
The crack is not continuous and the portion
being injected is full.
The port is not aligned over the crack properly.
The crack is blocked by debris.

More polyurethane is being used than estimated.


This may indicate that the crack either expands or branches off below
the surface. Continue to inject and fill these voids.

Polyurethane is leaking from the pasted-over crack


or around injection ports.
Stop injecting. If using a fast cure paste-over material (ETR or CIP),
wipe off the leaking injection epoxy with a cotton cloth and re-apply the
paste over material. Wait a approximately 1015 minutes to allow the

Less polyurethane is being used than estimated.


This may indicate that the crack is shallower than originally thought,
or the polyurethane is not penetrating the crack sufficiently before
moving to the next port.

TITEN HD Heavy Duty Screw Anchor for Concrete and Masonry


The proprietary design of the threads on the Titen HD anchor hold the key to its
performance. During installation, hardened cutting teeth at the tip of the anchor
undercut the concrete allowing the rest of the threads to follow with very little
friction. The result is a continuous mechanical interlock between the anchor and
base material that requires little installation torque.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES:
Reduced Installation Time: No secondary setting or torquing is required.
Just drive it and youre done. Install more anchors per hour and reduce
labor costs.
Reduced Installation Torque: Testing shows that when compared with other
screw-type anchors, the Titen HD anchor requires 50% less torque to be
installed in concrete. The serrated teeth on the lead threads facilitate cutting,
enabling the user to install the anchor faster with less fatigue.
Cut Your Drill Bit Inventory: The Titen HD anchor requires NO SPECIAL
DRILL BITS. It is designed to install in standard metric sized holes so there
are no matched tolerance drill bits to be purchased separately.
Cut Down on Tools: Just an impact or socket wrench is all you need for
installation. No need for separate tools to drive and set the anchor.

Titen HD

Eliminate The Hassle of Removal: Since the Titen HD anchor is easy to


remove, it is ideal for temporary anchoring or applications where fixtures
may need to be moved. No torching or grinding is required after removal
eliminating possible corrosion and rust stains.
Avoid Lost Washers and Protruding Studs: The hex washer head eliminates
the need for a separate washer and provides a clean look after installation.
No Inspection Hassles: Because it is not an expansion anchor, there are no
installation torque requirements to verify with the Titen HD anchor. It also
has the Simpson Strong-Tie =/ sign along with the anchor length and
diameter stamped into the head, making post installation inspection a snap.

Proprietary Heat Treating Process: Creates


superior surface hardness for cutting into the
hardest of base materials, while at the same
time maintaining the anchors ductility.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE:
Higher Load Capacity: Rather than one expansion area, the Titen HD
anchor has threads along the entire length of the anchor that undercut the
base material to efficiently transfer the load.
Vibration and Shock Resistance: The mechanical interlock of the threads
and the ratchet teeth on the underside of the head help prevent the anchor
from loosening in vibratory conditions. The Titen HD anchor has been
tested to 12.6 million vibratory cycles with no performance reductions.
Less Spacing and Edge Distance Required: The Titen HD anchor does not
exert expansion forces on the base material. This means greater placement
flexibility because anchors can be placed closer to each other or closer to
the edge of the base material while maintaining performance.
Proprietary Heat Treating Process: Creates superior surface hardness
for cutting into the hardest of base materials, while at the same time
maintaining the anchors ductility.
Full Body Diameter: The diameter of the anchor body is equal to the
nominal diameter of the anchor. That means that the body of a 16mm Titen
HD is a full 16mm. This gives the Titen HD anchor higher shear values than
other products which are often undersized. It also allows the Titen HD to be
installed with commonly used metric drill bits.
Easy Post-Installation Inspection: The head is stamped with the Simpson
Strong-Tie =/ sign and the anchor diameter and length in mm.

Can be bent to a right


angle (90 degrees) and

TITEN HD Heavy Duty Screw Anchor for Cracked and Uncracked Concrete
INSTALLATION:

Hole Dimensions

Holes in metal fixtures to be mounted should match the diameter


range specified in the table.
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or
eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the base
material and will reduce the anchors load capacity. Use a Titen HD
screw anchor one time only. Installing the anchor multiple times
may result in excessive thread wear and reduce load capacity.
Drill a hole in the base material using a carbide drill bit the
same diameter as the nominal diameter of the anchor to be
installed. Drill the hole to the specified drill hole depth to
allow the thread tapping dust to settle and blow it clean using
compressed air. Overhead installations need not be blown
clean. Alternatively, drill the hole deep enough to accommodate
embedment depth and dust from drilling and tapping.
Insert the anchor through the fixture and into the hole.
Tighten the anchor into the base material until the hex washer
head contacts the fixture.
If the anchor will not install completely, remove the anchor and
assure that all dust has been evacuated or drill the hole deeper.
Begin re-installation of the anchor by hand to prevent crossthreading.
Do not use impact wrenches to install into hollow CMU.

1) The recommended loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and an partial safety factor for actions of YF = 1.4. The
recommended loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar =
10 mm or smaller.
2) The recommended shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c < max [10 hef , 60 d]) concrete edge faliure
must be checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equates the
tensile stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be
performed. For details see ETA-12/0060.
5) An impact screw driver is recommended for the installation.

TORQ-CUT Self-Undercutting Anchor for Cracked and Uncracked Concrete


The Torq-Cut self-undercutting anchor is a heavy-duty, high-capacity anchor designed
and tested for use in cracked and uncracked concrete under static and seismic loading
conditions. It is designed to meet the requirements that the 2006 IBC places on postinstalled anchors. The built in ring with hardened cutters expands with installation torque
forming undercut grooves in the concrete. This interlocking connection between the anchor
and the concrete provides superior load carrying capacity.
FEATURES:
Self-undercutting feature provides higher load carrying capacity than conventional
mechanical anchors
AC193 code tested to ensure outstanding performance in both cracked and uncracked
concrete
Excellent for resisting seismic and vibratory loads
Suitable for seismic applications categories A-F
Ductile steel rod provides consistent, reliable performance
Specially designed, low-friction wedge cone minimizes binding and speeds installation
Installs just like a conventional wedge anchor, no special tool, drill bit, or secondary
drilling is required
The head is stamped with the Simpson Strong-Tie "" sign and size
for easy post installation identification
Installs with standard drill bits
MATERIAL: ASTM A193 grade B7 or B7M rod with SAE J403 grade 1144 expansion clip
and cone
FINISH:

Zinc plated

CODES: ICC-ES ESR-2705, NQA1 approval pending

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

The load tables list values based upon results from the most recent testing and
may not reflect those in current code reports. Where code jurisdictions apply, consult
the current reports for applicable load values.
TEST CRITERIA: The Torq-Cut anchor has been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's
Acceptance Criteria for Mechanical Anchors in Concrete Elements (AC193) and ACI 355.2
for the following:
Static tension and shear loading in cracked and uncracked concrete
Seismic and wind loading in cracked and uncracked concrete
Performance in cracked concrete

Installation Sequence

INSTALLATION:
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will make it difficult to set the anchor
and will reduce the anchors load capacity.
Do not use an impact wrench to set or tighten the Torq-Cut anchor.

Pre-Set
Setting
Tube

Installation Instructions: Pre-Set Version


Drill a hole in the base material to the specified embedment depth using the appropriate
diameter carbide drill bit specified for each diameter.
Blow the hole clean using compressed air.
Assemble the anchor with nut and washer and finger tighten nut so all components
are snug (spacer sleeve, expansion sleeve and cone). The bottom of the threaded rod
should be flush with the bottom of the cone.
Place the anchor into the drilled hole and use a hammer and setting tube* to drive the
anchor until the washer and nut are tight against the surface of the base material.
Remove the nut and washer and install the fixture. Re-assemble the nut and
washer over the fixture.
Tighten to the required installation torque.

Through-Set

Tube

Installation Instructions: Through-Set Version


Drill a hole in the base material to the specified embedment depth using the appropriate
diameter carbide drill bit specified for each diameter.
Blow the hole clean using compressed air.
Assemble the anchor with nut and washer and finger tighten nut so all components
are snug (spacer sleeve, expansion sleeve and cone). The bottom of the threaded rod
should be flush with the bottom of the cone.
Place the anchor through the fixture and into the drilled hole. Use a hammer and setting
tube*
to drive the anchor until the washer and nut are tight against the fixture.
Tighten to the required installation torque.
APPLICATION:
Interior environment where low levels of moisture and corrosive chemicals are present

Contact Simpson Strong-Tie For Load and Design Information

*Setting tube is a metal spacer tube that prevents damage


to the threaded portion of the anchor when the anchor is
driven into the hole with a hammer. One setting tube is
included with every box of anchors.

WEDGE ANCHOR

Throughbolt WA

For simple and economical applications


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The wedge anchor is installed through the fixture.
Torquing draws the cone end of the stud into the expansion clip. The expansion clip expands
and develops a frictional grip with the sidewalls of the hole.
FUNCTION:
Application of the installation torque draws the cone end of the stud into the expansion clip.
The expansion clip expands and develops a frictional grip with the sidewalls of the hole. This
gives the anchor its resistance to tension loads.
BENEFITS:
Economical anchor for medium-duty loads
Approved for use in non-cracked concrete
MATERIAL:
Carbon steel, zinc plated and blue passivated
BASE MATERIAL:
Non-cracked concrete: C20/25 to C50/60

1) The recommended loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the pending ETA approval and an partial safety factor for actions of YF= 1.4. The
permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar = 10
mm or smaller.
2) The recommended shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10hef or 60d) concrete edge failure
must be checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile tress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm2 can be assumed (L

equates the tensile stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be
performed. For details, see ETA-11/0080
5) Not included in the approval ETA-11/0080

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4.
The permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar is 10
mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c < 10 hef or < 60 d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm2 can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be performed.
For details, see ETA-08/0276.
5) Not included in the approval ETA-08/0276.
6) Type BoA-X 16/95 is not included in ETA-08/0276. Permissible loads in C20/25 to C50/60 cracked concrete: Nperm = 6.4 [kN] ; Vperm = 6,4 [kN].
Permissible loads in C20/25 to C50/60 non-cracked concrete: Nperm = 10.0 [kN] ; Vperm = 10.0 [kN].

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4.
The permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar is 10
mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c < 10 hef or < 60 d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm2 can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be performed.
For details, see ETA-08/0276.
5) Not included in the approval ETA-08/0276.

DROP-IN ANCHOR

Internally Threaded Expansion Shell Anchor

Drop-in anchors are internally threaded, deformation controlled expansion


anchors with a preassembled expander plug, suitable for flush mount
applications in solid base materials. The anchor is set by driving the expansion
plug towards the bottom of the anchor using the setting tool.
The Lipped Drop-In (DIAL) features a lip at the top of the anchor body that
keeps the top of the anchor flush with the concrete. This eliminates the
need for precisely drilled hole depths and allows for easier flush installation,
consistent embedment and uniform rod lengths.

MATERIAL:
Carbon and A4 Stainless steel
(DIAL1030 available in zinc plated carbon steel only)
FINISH:
Zinc plated carbon steel and A4 Stainless steel
INSTALLATION:
Drill a hole in the base material using the proper diameter carbide drill bit
as specified in the table. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth
plus 3 to 5mm for flush mounting. Blow the hole clean using compressed
air. Overhead holes do not need to be blown clean.
CAUTION- oversize holes will make it difficult to set the anchor and will
reduce the anchors load capacity.
Insert anchor into hole. Tap with hammer until flush against the surface.
Using the proper sized Drop-In setting tool (DIAST); drive the expander
plug towards the bottom of the anchor until shoulder of setting tool makes
contact with the top of the anchor.
TEST CRITERIA:
C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

The Drop-In anchor has been tested in accordance with ASTM E488 Standard
Test Methods for Strength of Anchors in Concrete and Masonry Elements.

BLUE BANGER HANGER

Cast-In-Place, Internally-Threaded Inserts

Blue Banger Hanger internally-threaded inserts are cast into the


underside of the concrete deck after being fastened to the top of wood
forms or metal deck. Once the concrete has cured, the anchor provides
an attachment point for threaded rod used to hang electrical, mechanical
and plumbing utilities. The Blue Banger Hanger insert is the only pre-pour
insert to offer the patented multi-thread design which allows one size
insert to handle multiple diameters of threaded rod.
FEATURES:
Quick and easy installation saves time and
money- no assembly required.
Patented multi-thread design allows each
hanger to accept multiple diameters of threaded
rod. Three sizes of hangers can handle all
applications, reducing contractor and
distributor inventories.
Multi-thread design allows threaded rod
size to be changed after the anchor is in
the concrete.

The Plastic Screw Anchor is an expanding plastic shield that expands as the screw is tightened.
The PSA can be used in all types of base materials including concrete and gypsum drywall.
MATERIAL: Polyethylene plastic
INSTALLATION:
Caution: Oversized holes will make it difficult to set the anchor and will impact the anchor's
performance.
Drill a hole in the base material using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit as specified
in the table. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth plus " (3mm). For flush
mounting blow the hole clean with compressed air. Alternatively, drill the hole deep enough
to accommodate embedment depth and dust from drilling. Overhead installations need not be
blown clean.
Insert anchor into hole. Tap with hammer until flush with surface of base material.
Position fixture; insert screw and tighten.

ULTRAPLUS

Undercut Anchor Systems

ULTRAPLUS M12 M36


The undercut anchor for exceptionally high loads in cracked and
non-cracked concrete also for shock and earthquake loads.

R 120
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The ULTRAPLUS undercut anchor is designed for use in applications where
reliability and safety are essential, e.g. for anchoring safety relevant components in
nuclear power plants, for industrial plants, conveyor systems, cranes, and also for
special civil engineering solutions.
The ULTRAPLUS was developed to resist very high loads with its unique
undercutting technology. After the hole is drilled, a separate undercut is drilled
using the special undercutting tool. When the anchor is inserted through the fixture,
spring pressure opens the expanding segments. They lock into the undercut with a
clearly audible click. The result is a mechanical interlock without expansion
stresses. By applying the specified torque, the fixture is fastened in position. The
positive undercut allows perfect bearing of the segments and ensures reliable
transmission of the load into the concrete.
APPLICATIONS:
Steel construction
Industrial plants
Nuclear power plants

Conveyor systems
Cranes

Positive undercut anchor with


strong mechanical interlock
Immediately loadable
Through-fix installation

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

FEATURES:
Expansion pressure free
Small edge distances and spacings
Completely removable

BENEFITS:

Dependable fixing for high loads in cracked and non-cracked concrete


High safety margins due to positive undercutting
High strength threaded rod Grade 10.9
The spring automatically compensates for tolerances in the fixture thickness
Reduced edge distances and spacings
Custom lengths available
Proven performance history in resisting dynamic loads, shock loads, and
earthquakes. Expert reports available for these and other applications.
Positive undercutting (comparable performance to a cast-in headed stud)
FUNCTION: When the anchor is installed the expansion segments are driven down
to the undercut in the drilled hole. The spring pressure automatically expands the
segments into the undercut with an audible click. This results in a mechanical
undercut connection without any expansion pressure. The positive undercut
allows perfect bearing of the segments and ensures reliable transmission of the
load into the concrete.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4. The permissible loads are

valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar is 10 mm or smaller.

2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without infl uencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60 d) concrete edge failure must be checked

per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.

3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verifi cation R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the

tensile stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).

4) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be performed. For

details, see ETA-04/0099.

5) The permissible bending moments are only valid for the threaded stud (e.g. in case of a distance mounting).
6) This hmin only applies when the remote face of the concrete is inspected to ensure there has been no break-through as a result of drilling. Otherwise hmin = 360 mm (M16) and hmin = 400

mm (M20).

Undercut Anchor Systems

SELF-UNDERCUTTING ANCHOR
The undercut fixing system that does not require a special setting tool

R 120
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The LIEBIG SUPERPLUS is available in zinc plated carbon steel and A4 stainless steel.
Its design offers the high load capacity and reliability of an undercut anchor, but with
the ease of installation of an expansion anchor. In contrast to competing undercut anchor
systems, the SUPERPLUS does not require special drill bits or setting tools. You need only
apply the torque to create the self-undercut.
FEATURES:

Typ ILS

High capacity in cracked and non-cracked concrete


High reliability due to undercut technology
Simple installation, no special drill bit or setting tool required
Applying torque creates undercut
Two approved embedment depths per diameter
Lower installed cost than traditional undercut anchors
Reduced edge distances and spacings
Shallow embedment depths
High tension and shear capacity
Economical

Typ BLS

APPLICATIONS:

C- APACME -2012 2012 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE

Power plants
Steel and industrial plants
Cable trays

Machines
Facades
Base plates

Strut system
Subway cassions

FUNCTION: Automatically self-undercutting. The unique design of the


SUPERPLUS causes an undercut to be created when the installation torque is applied. As
torque is applied to the anchor the cone is drawn into the anchor sleeve and the sleeves
outer cutting teeth expand and undercut into the base material. This results in a durable
mechanical interlock with base material that functions in both cracked and non-cracked
concrete.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4. The permissible loads
are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60 d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) The permissible bending moments are only valid for the threaded stud (e.g. in case of a distance mounting).
5) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be performed.
For details, see ETA-01/0011.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4. The permissible loads
are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60 d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) The permissible bending moments are only valid for the threaded stud (e.g. in case of a distance mounting).
5) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be performed.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated assuming that grade 8.8 fasteners are used and using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in ETA-01/0011 and a partial safety factor
for actions of F = 1.4. The permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10
cm if the rebar is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60 d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) If spacings or edge distances become smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N and/or c ccr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A must be performed.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4.
The permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar
is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60 d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) The permissible bending moments are only valid for the threaded stud (e.g. in case of a distance mounting).
5) For spacings smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A shall be performed. For details, see ETA-06/0108.
6) The actual edge distance shall not be less than the value of cmin shown in the table.
7) Size M20 is not included in the approval.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4.
The permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar
is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) For spacings smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N ) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A shall be performed. For details, see ETA-06/0108.
5) The actual edge distance shall not be less than the value of cmin shown in the table.
6) Size M20 is not included in the approval.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using partial safety factors for resistances and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4.
The permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar
is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) The permissible bending moments are only valid for the threaded stud (e.g. in case of a distance mounting).
5) For spacings smaller than the characteristic values (i.e. s scr,N ) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A shall be performed.
6) The actual edge distance shall not be less than the value of cmin shown in the table.

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of F = 1.4. The permissible loads
are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s 10 cm if the rebar is 10 mm or smaller.
2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c 10 hef or 60d) concrete edge failure must be
checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A.
3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is L + R 0. In the absence of detailed verification R = 3 N/mm can be assumed (L equals the tensile
stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included).
4) The permissible bending moments are only valid for the threaded stud type AB (e.g. in case of a distance mounting).
5) For spacings smaller than the characteristic values ((i.e. s scr,N) a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A shall be performed.
6) The actual edge distance shall not be less than the value of cmin shown in the table.

1. Spacings are based upon the attachment of 51mm (2") (nominal


thickness) wood sill plates, with specific gravity of 0.50 or
greater, to concrete floor slabs or footings. For species of wood
with specific gravity of 0.42 to 0.49, multiply required spacing of
fasteners for shear walls by 0.81. For species of wood with specific
gravity of 0.31 to 0.41, multiply the required spacing of fasteners
for shear walls by 0.65.
2. All walls shall have fasteners placed at 6 inches from ends of sill
plates, with maximum spacing as shown in the table.
3. Fasteners indicated shall have two pins placed 152mm (6") and
254mm (10"), respectively, from each end of sill plates, with
maximum spacing as shown in the table.
4. All fasteners must be installed with a minimum 19mm (")
diameter, No. 16 gauge 1.52mm (0.06") steel washer.
5. Fasteners shall not be driven until the concrete has reached a
compressive strength of 13.8MPa (2,000 psi). Minimum edge
distance is 45mm (1").
6. The fasteners shall not be used for the attachment of shear walls
having a unit shear in excess of 45kg (100 pounds) per 13cm.
Spacings shown are independent of the number of building stories.
