Holdown connectors are typically used to anchor shearwall segments against overturning. This Holdown Selector is a quick and easy tool that selects the most cost effective holdown connector based on the type of installation, factored load and the species of the post. Holdown selection as well as associated anchorage design for the US has migrated to the Post-to-Foundation Designer.

Select this if the holdown connector is to be installed prior of placement of concrete.
Select this if the holdown connector is to be installed after placement of concrete.
Holdown and Tension Tie factored resistances are based on installation with an anchor rod length of 6" from the concrete to the top of the holdown seat. The products may be raised to any height with consideration of the increased deflection due to additional bolt elongation.
*The Installed Cost Index is used to compare the relative installed costs of similar connectors in order to identify which are the least expensive to install. The values are determined by combining the estimated cost of the connector, fasteners and labor for each installation and then presenting them in order from "lowest" cost to highest, showing the percentage of cost increase for each option.
