Tension and Shear Loads for Installations in Unreinforced Brick

Masonry Walls Minimum URM Wall Thickness is 13" (3 wythes thick)

 
Tension Load Shear Load Threaded Rod Unreinforced Brick (URM)
see configurations below
Tension and Shear Loads for Installations in Unreinforced Brick Masonry Walls Minimum URM Wall Thickness is 13" (3 wythes thick)
  1. Threaded rods must comply with ASTM F1554 Grade 36 minimum.
  2. All holes are drilled with a 1" diameter carbide-tipped drill bit with the drill set in the rotation-only mode.
  3. The unreinforced brick walls must have a minimum thickness of 13 inches (three wythes of brick).
  4. The allowable load is applicable only where in-place shear tests indicate minimum net mortar strength of 50 psi.
  5. The allowable load for Configuration B and C anchors subjected to a combined tension and shear load is determined by assuming a straight-line relationship between allowable tension and shear.
  6. The anchors installed in unreinforced brick walls are limited to resisting seismic or wind forces only.
  7. Configuration A has a straight threaded rod or rebar embedded 8 inches into the wall with a 31/32" diameter by 8-inch long screen tube (part # ETS758 or ETS758P). This configuration is designed to resist shear loads only.
  8. Configuration B has a 3/4" threaded rod bent and installed at a 22.5-degree angle and installed 13 inches into the wall, to within 1-inch (maximum) of the exterior wall surface. This configuration is designed to resist tension and shear loads. The pre-bent threaded rod is installed with a 31/32" diameter by 13-inch long screen tube (part # ETS7513 or ETS7513P).
  9. Configuration C is designed to resist tension and shear forces. It consists of a 5/8" diameter, ASTM F1554 Grade 36 threaded rod and an 8" long sleeve (part # AST800) and a 31/32" diameter by 8-inch long screen tube (part # ETS758). The steel sleeve has a plastic plug in one end. A 6" by 6" by 3/8" thick ASTM A 36 steel plate is located on the back face of the wall.
  10. Special inspection requirements are determined by local jurisdiction and must be confirmed by the local building official.
  11. Refer to in-service temperature sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
  12. Screen tubes not for use with SET1.7KTA.
Configuration A (Shear)
 

Installation Instructions
for Configuration C:

  1. Drill hole perpendicular to the wall to a depth of 8" with a 1" diameter carbide-tipped drill bit (rotation only mode).
  2. Clean hole with oil-free compressed air and a nylon brush.
  3. Fill 8" screen tube with mixed adhesive and insert into hole.
  4. Insert steel sleeve slowly into screen tube (adhesive will displace).
  5. Allow adhesive to cure (see cure schedule).
  6. Drill through plastic plug in (inside) end of steel sleeve with 5/8" bit.
  7. Drill completely through the wall with 5/8" carbide tipped concrete drill bit (rotation mode only).
  8. Insert 5/8" rod through hole and attach metal plate and nut.
