  3. Grout-filled CMU (GFCMU) shall have a minimum compressive strength of f'm = 1,500 psi.
  4. 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 bond 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.
