Load Tables
- Attached members must be designed to resist applied loads.
- Concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of f'c = 2,500 psi.
- Grout-filled CMU (GFCMU) shall have a minimum compressive strength of f'm = 1,500 psi.
- To achieve the loads listed for the HGT, install SET-XP® anchoring adhesive anchorage into a 8"-wide concrete tie-beam or grouted and reinforced CMU tie-beam with a minimum embedment depth of 12". Vertical reinforcement may be required to transfer the loads per designer. Alternate anchorage may be determined by designer.
- Allowable loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern.
