ESR-1772 I Most Widely Accepted and Trusted <br />3.3 Threaded Rods and Reinforcing Bars: <br />Threaded anchor rods, having diameters of 5/8 inch or 3/4 <br />inch (15.9 or 19.1 mm), must be carbon steel conforming <br />to a minimum of ASTM Fl 554 Grade 36. The 3/4-inch <br />(19.1 mm) threaded rods may also be used in a prebent <br />221/2-degree configuration as described in Section 4.1.2 of <br />this report. Deformed steel rebars, having sizes No. 5 or <br />No. 6, must conform to ASTM A615, A616, A617, A706, or <br />A767. <br />3.4 Steel Sleeve: The steel sleeve for use in unreinforced <br />brick masonry walls, Simpson Strong-Tie part No. AST800, <br />is an 8-inch-long (203 mm) sleeve, formed from AISI 1010 <br />steel, closed at one end with a plastic cap and open on the <br />other, having outside and inside diameters of 13/16 inch <br />(20.6 mm) and 11/16 inch (17.5 mm), respectively. The <br />steel sleeves are used in unreinforced brick masonry walls <br />as described in Section 4.1.3.In unreinforced brick <br />masonry walls, the steel sleeve is used in configuration C <br />only (Figure 1). <br />3.5 Steel Plate Washer: The steel plate is for use in <br />unreinforced brick masonry walls as described in Section <br />4.1.3. The steel plate must be ASTM A36 steel, measuring <br />6 inches by 6 inches by 3/8 inch thick <br />(152 mm by 152 mm by 9.5 mm). The steel sleeve is used <br />in unreinforced brick masonry for configuration C only <br />(Figure 1). <br />3.6 Hole Cleaning Equipment: Hole cleaning equipment <br />consists of hole cleaning brushes and air nozzles. <br />Brushes must be Simpson Strong-Tie 1-inch-diameter hole <br />cleaning brushes, identified by Simpson Strong-Tie catalog <br />number ETB10. Air nozzles and brushes must reach the <br />bottom of the drilled hole. <br />3.7 Unreinforced Brick Masonry: <br />The existing unreinforced masonry walls must have a <br />minimum nominal thickness of 13 inches <br />(three wythes of brick). The average in-place mortar shear <br />strength of the building's unreinforced masonry, <br />determined in accordance with IEBC Section A106.3.3, <br />must be no less than 50 psi (345 kPa) net. <br />4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION <br />4.1 General: <br />Three types of anchor assembly are available: <br />Configuration A (shear anchor or rebar dowel), <br />Configuration B (221/2-degree combination anchor), and <br />Configuration C (through-bolt combination anchor): <br />4.1.1 Configuration A, Threaded Rods or Steel <br />Reinforcing Bars in Shear (Shear Anchor or Rebar <br />Dowel): Configuration A consists of a 3/4-inch-diameter <br />(19.1 mm) straight threaded rod or a No. 5 or No. 6, <br />straight deformed steel reinforcing dowel bar, and a 31/32 <br />inch-outer-diameter-by-8-inch-long (24.6 mm by 203 mm) <br />steel wire (ETS758) or plastic mesh (ETS758P) screen <br />tube. This anchor must be embedded a minimum of 8 <br />inches (203 mm) into the wall and is used when the <br />outside wall is inaccessible. This anchor configuration <br />resists shear loads only. Figure 1 shows details of an <br />installed shear-resisting assembly. <br />4.1.2 Configuration B, Bent Threaded Rods in Shear <br />or Tension (221/2-degree Combination Anchor): <br />Configuration B consists of a 3/4-inch-diameter (19.1 mm) <br />threaded rod prebent at a 22.5-degree angle and installed <br />a minimum of 13 inches (330 mm) into the wall at a <br />downward angle of 22.5 degrees, to within a maximum of 1 <br />inch (25.4 mm) of the exterior wall surface. The prebent <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />threaded rod is used with a 31/32-inch-outer-diameter-by- <br />13-inch-long (26.4 mm by 330 mm) steel wire (ETS7513) <br />or plastic mesh (ETS7513P) screen tube. This anchor <br />configuration resists tension and shear loads, and is used <br />where the outside of the wall is inaccessible. <br />4.1.3 Configuration C, Through-bolts in Tension and <br />Shear: Configuration C consists of a 5/8-inch-diameter <br />(15.9 mm) threaded rod; an 8-inch-long (203 mm) steel <br />sleeve (AST800), formed from AISI 1010 steel, having <br />outside and inside diameters of 13/16 inch 20.6 mm) and11/16 inch (17.5 mm), respectively; and a 1/32-inch-outer- <br />diameter-by-8-inch-long (26.4 mm by 203 mm) steel <br />screen tube (ETS758). A 6-inch-by-6-inch-by-3/8-inch-thick <br />(152 mm by 152 mm by 9.5 mm) ASTM A36 steel plate <br />must be located on the back face of the wall at the end of <br />the threaded rod of the through-bolted connection. This <br />anchor configuration resists tension and shear loads, and <br />is used when the outside surface of the wall is accessible. <br />4.2 Design: <br />The SET adhesive anchors are intended to resist only <br />short-term loads imposed by wind or earthquake. The <br />anchors must be approved by a registered design <br />professional and installed under special inspection in <br />accordance with Section 4.5 of this report. The edge <br />distance and vertical and horizontal spacing for the three <br />types of anchor assemblies described in Section 4.1 must <br />comply with Table 2. <br />Conditions of acceptance for threaded rods and <br />reinforcing bars in unreinforced brick masonry are as <br />follows: <br />4.2.1 Configuration A, Threaded Rods or Steel <br />Reinforcing Bars in Shear (Shear Anchor or Rebar <br />Dowel): <br />a. Installation of Configuration A threaded rods and <br />reinforcing bars intended to resist shear loads only <br />must comply with Sections 4.1.1 and 4.3, and <br />Figure 1. <br />b. The allowable shear load for the 3/4-inch-diameter <br />(19.1 mm) threaded rod is 1,000 pounds (4450 N) as <br />shown in Table 3. For the No. 6 and No. 5 reinforcing <br />bars, the allowable shear loads are 1,000 and 750 <br />pounds (4450 N and 3335 N), respectively, as shown <br />in Table 3. No adjustment for wind or earthquake <br />loading is permitted with the above-noted loads. <br />c. Allowable shear value is applicable only to anchors <br />installed in walls where in-place shear tests indicate a <br />minimum mortar strength of 50 psi (345 kPa) net, in <br />accordance with IEBC Section A106.3.3. <br />4.2.2 Configuration B, Bent Threaded Rods, and <br />Configuration C, Through-bolts: <br />a. Installation of threaded rods and through-bolts must <br />comply with Sections 4.1.2, 4.1.3 and 4.3, and <br />Figure 1. <br />b. Maximum allowable tension load for the 3/4-inch- <br />diameter (19.1 mm)prebent threaded rod <br />(Configuration B) or the 5/8-inch-diameter (15.9 mm) <br />through-bolt (Configuration C) is 1,200 pounds <br />(5340 N), as shown in Table 3. No adjustment for <br />wind or earthquake loading is permitted with the <br />above-noted loads. <br />c. The maximum allowable shear load for the 3/4-inch- <br />diameter (19.1 mm) prebent threaded rod is 1,000 <br />pounds (4450 N), and for the 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) <br />through-bolt it is 750 pounds (3335 N), as shown in
