AT High-Strength Anchoring Adhesive
Tension Loads for Threaded Rod Anchors in Sand-Lightweight Concrete
- Oversize holes may reduce load capacity.
- Allowable load must be the lesser of the bond or steel strength.
- 100% of the allowable load is permitted at critical spacing. No reduction in spacing is allowed.
- Refer to allowable load-adjustment factors for edge distance.
- Refer to in-service temperature sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
- Anchors are permitted to be used within fire-resistive construction, provided the anchors resist wind or seismic loads only. For use in fire-resistive construction, the anchors can also be permitted to be used to resist gravity loads, provided special consideration has been given to fire-exposure conditions.
- Anchors are not permitted to resist tension forces in overhead or wall installations unless proper consideration is given to fire-exposure and elevated-temperature conditions.
- The allowable loads listed under allowable bond are based on a safety factor of 4.0.
