1. Allowable load capacities listed are calculated using an applied safety factor of 4.0 which includes assessment of freezing/thawing conditions and sensitivity to sustained loads (e.g. creep
resistance). Consideration of safety factors of 10 or higher may be necessary depending on the application, such as life safety or overhead.
2. Linear interpolation may be used to determine allowable loads for intermediate embedments and compressive strengths.
3. The tabulated load values are applicable to single anchors installed at critical edge and spacing distances and where the minimum member thickness is the greater of [h
nom
+ 1-1/4"]
and [h
nom
+ 2d
bit
].
4. The tabulated load values are applicable for dry concrete. Holes must be drilled with a hammer drill and an ANSI carbide drill bit. Installations in wet concrete or in water-filled holes may
require a reduction in capacity. Contact Powers for more information concerning these installation conditions.
5. Adhesives experience reductions in capacity at elevated temperatures. See the In-Service Temperature chart for allowable load capacity reduction factors.
6. Allowable bond strength/concrete capacity must be checked against allowable steel strength to determine the controlling allowable load. Allowable shear capacity is controlled by
allowable steel strength for the given conditions.
