Load Tables
SFC/SSC Connectors – U-Channel Bridging Allowable Loads
- See illustration for fastener placement.
- Allowable loads are for use when utilizing Allowable Stress Design methodology. For LRFD loads, multiply the tabulated ASD values by 1.6.
- Allowable brace strengths are based on ultimate test load divided by a safety factor. Serviceability limit is not considered, as brace stiffness requirements are given in Section D3.3 of AISI S100. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie if nominal brace strength is required.
- Tabulated stiffness values apply to both ASD and LRFD designs.
- See more information on Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners.
