| 1. Tabulated load values are for anchors installed in uncracked concrete. Concrete compressive strength must be at taminimum at the time of installation. 2. In unshaded cells, the capacity of the wire rope controls the failure in the assembly. 3. In shaded cells, the capacity of the anchor in concrete controls the failure in the assembly. 4. Allowable capacities are based on a safety factor of 4.0. 5. The minimum base material thickness should be 3-1/2 inches. 6. Tabulated data is based on a minimum spacing distance of 2-3/4 inches for 1/4″ and 5/16″ diameter anchors and a minimum spacing distance of 4 inches for 3/8″ diameter anchors. 7. Tabulated data is based on a minimum edge distance of 3-1/2 inches. 8. Nominal anchor length must exceed the minimum embedment depth + 1/4 inch. | |||||
