- Allowable bearing stress for masonry is based on an f'm of 1500 psi using the IBC (ACI 530 2.1.9.3) Allowable Stress Design. Wood bearing is based on f'c-perp of 650 psi.
- When installed on masonry, use the lesser of the masonry or the wood allowable load values. When installed on concrete, a minimum f'c = 2500 psi shall be used and use the wood values as the limiting allowable bearing load values.
- Allowable horizontal loads are bolt values and include increase for wind or earthquake loading. Loads must be reduced if stresses in masonry or concrete are limiting.
- Beams must fully bear on base plate.
- The GLBT5 has a WT4x9 structural tee; the GLBT6 has a WT4x12 structural tee.
- Specify "W" dimension when ordering.
- Uplift loads do not apply for this connector.
