1. Ultimate strengths are based on laboratory tests.
2. Allowable (ASD) strengths are based on a safety factor ,, of 3.0 in accordance with ICC-ES AC118 and AISI S100-16.
3. Design (LRFD) strengths are based on a resistance factor,
f
, of 0.50 in accordance with ICC-ES AC118 and AISI S100-16.
4. For ASD tension connections, the lower of the ASD tension strength, ASD pull-out strength and ASD pull-over strength must be used for design.
5. For LRFD tension connections, the lower of the LRFD tension strength, LRFD pull-out strength and LRFD pull-over strength must be used for design.
6. For ASD shear connections, the lower of the ASD Shear (Bearing) Capacity and the ASD Fastener Shear Strength must be used for design.
7. For LRFD shear connections, the lower of the LRFD Shear (Bearing) Capacity and the LRFD Fastener Shear Strength must be used for design.

1. Ultimate strengths are based on laboratory tests.
2. Ultimate load capacities must be reduced by a minimum safety factor to determine allowable loads (ASD) or by a load resistance factor to determine strength design capacities (LRFD).
