SSTB® Anchor Bolts
Installation
The SSTB anchor bolt is designed for maximum performance as an anchor bolt for holdowns and Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Wall® shearwalls. Extensive testing has been done to determine the design load capacity of the SSTB when installed in many common applications.
The Simpson Strong-Tie® SSTB anchor bolts are now code listed by ICC-ES under the 2009 and 2012 IBC® and IRC® to meet the requirements of ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC 399.. ICC-ES ESR-2611 is the industry’s first code report issued for proprietary anchor bolts evaluated to the criteria of AC 399.
Special Features:
- Identification on the bolt head showing embedment angle and model
- Offset angle reduces side bursting, and provides more concrete cover
- Rolled thread for higher tensile capacity
- Stamped embedment line aids installation
- Available in HDG for additional corrosion resistance
Material: ASTM F-1554, Grade 36
Finish: None. May be ordered HDG; Contact Simpson Strong-Tie.
Installation:
- SSTB is suitable for monolithic and two-pour concrete applications.
- Nuts and washers for holdown attachment are not supplied with the SSTB; install standard nuts, couplers and/or washers as required.
- On HDG SSTB anchors, chase the threads to use standard nuts or couplers or use overtapped products in accordance with ASTM A563, for example Simpson Strong-Tie® NUT5/8-OST or NUT7/8-OST.
- Install SSTB before the concrete pour using AnchorMates®. Install the SSTB per the plan view detail.
- Minimum concrete compressive strength is 2500 psi.
- When rebar is required it does not need to be tied to the SSTB.
- Order SSTBL Models (example: SSTB16L) for longer thread length (16L= 5 1/2", 20L = 6 1/2", 24L = 6", 28L = 6 1/2"). SSTB and SSTBL load values are the same. SSTB34 and SSTB36 feature 4 1/2" and 6 1/2" of thread respectively and are not available in "L" versions.
CMU
- One horizontal #4 rebar in the second course.
- One vertical #4 rebar in adjacent cell for 5/8" diameter SSTB.
- One vertical #4 rebar in an adjacent cell and additional vertical #4 rebar(s) at 24" o.c. max. for 7/8" diameter SSTBs (2 total vertical rebars for end wall corner, 3 total vertical rebars for midwall).

SSTB Bolts at Stemwall
These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
- See notes to the Designer below.
- SSTB28, SSTB34 and SSTB36 with 3 7/8" end distance allowable loads are 6605 lbs. (Wind and SDC A&B) and 5550 lbs (SDC C-F).

Perspective View
Notes to the Designer:
- Rebar is required at top of stemwall foundations but is not required for Slab-on-Grade Edge and Garage Curb, or Stemwall Garage Front installations.
- Minimum end distances for SSTB bolts are as shown in graphics.
- Multiply the tabulated ASD wind or seismic loads by 1.6 or 1.4, respectively, to obtain LRFD capacities.
- Per Section 1613 of the IBC, detached one- and two-story dwellings in SDC C may use "Wind and SDC A&B" allowable loads.
- See ESR-2611 for additional information.
- Midwall loads apply when anchor is 1.5 le or greater from the end. For bolts acting in tension simultaneously, the minimum bolt center-to-center spacing is 3 le.
SSTB Bolts in 8" CMU
These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
Typical SSTB Installation in Concrete Foundation
Maintain minimum rebar cover, per ACI-318 concrete code requirements
Typical SSTB Installation in Grouted Concrete Block
- Loads are based on a minimum CMU compressive strength, f'm, of 1500 psi.
- Minimum end distance required to achieve midwall table loads is 1.5 le.
- Minimum end distance for corner/end wall loads is 4 1/4".
- Loads may not be increased for duration of load.
