Sleeve-All® Sleeve Anchors

Load-Adjustment Factors in Normal-Weight Concrete

Spacing, Tension and Shear Loads

 

How to use these charts:

  1. The following tables are for reduced spacing.
  2. Locate the anchor size to be used for either a tension and/or shear load application.
  3. Locate the spacing (Sact) at which the anchor is to be installed.
  4. The load-adjustment factor ( fs) is the intersection of the row and column.
  5. Multiply the allowable load by the applicable load-adjustment factor.
  6. Reduction factors for spacing are multiplied together.

  1. E = Embedment depth (inches).
  2. Sact = actual spacing distance at which anchors are installed (inches).
  3. Scr = critical spacing distance for 100% load (inches).
  4. Smin = minimum spacing distance for reduced load (inches).
  5. fs = adjustment factor for allowable load at actual spacing distance.
  6. fscr = adjustment factor for allowable load at critical spacing distance. fscr is always = 1.00.
  7. fsmin = adjustment factor for allowable load at minimum spacing distance.
  8. fs = fsmin + [(1 - fsmin) (Sact - Smin) / (Scr - Smin)].
