ESR-3699 Page 7 of 18 dimensions, anchor spacing, edge distances, concrete thickness, anchor embedment, drill bit type and size, hole cleaning procedures, installation torque, and adherence to the manufacturer's published installation instructions and the conditions of this report (in case of conflict, this report governs). The special inspector must be present as often as required in accordance with the “statement of special inspection.” 5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE: The Tapcon+ Screw Anchors and SAMMYS Anchors described in this report are suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions: 5.1 Anchor sizes, dimensions, embedment, and installation are as set forth in this report. 5.2 The anchors must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and this report. In case of conflict, this report governs. 5.3 The 1/4-inch-, 3/8-inch-, and 1/2-inch-diameter (6.4 mm, 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm) anchors must be used in cracked and uncracked normalweight concrete and lightweight concrete having a specified compressive strength, f′c, of 2,500 psi to 8,500 psi (17.2 MPa to 58.6 MPa). 5.4 The 1/2-inch-diameter (12.7 mm) anchor may be used in cracked and uncracked normalweight or sand- lightweight concrete over metal deck having a minimum specified compressive strength, f′c, of 3,000 psi (20.7 MPa). 5.5 The values of f’c used for calculation purposes must not exceed 8,000 psi (55.1 MPa). 5.6 The concrete shall have attained its minimum design strength prior to installation of the anchors. 5.7 Strength design values must be established in accordance with Section 4.1 of this report. 5.8 Allowable stress design values must be established in accordance with Section 4.2 of this report. 5.9 Anchor spacing, edge distance, and minimum concrete thickness must comply with Section 4.1.11, Table 1, and Figure 6 of this report. 5.10 Reported values for the SAMMYS Anchors for Threaded Rod do not consider the steel element threaded into the anchor, which must be verified by the design professional. SAMMYS Anchors must be installed directly into the concrete, without the use of a baseplate. 5.11 Prior to installation, calculations and details demonstrating compliance with this report must be submitted to the code official for approval. The calculations and details must be prepared by a registered design professional where required by the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed. 5.12 Since an ICC-ES acceptance criteria for evaluating data to determine the performance of anchors subjected to fatigue or shock loading is unavailable at this time, the use of these anchors under these conditions is beyond the scope of this report. 5.13 The 1/4-inch-, 3/8-inch-, and 1/2-inch-diameter (6.4 mm, 9.5 mm, and 12.7 mm) Tapcon+ Screw Anchors may be used to resist short-term loading due to wind forces and for seismic load combinations in locations designated as Seismic Design Categories A through F under the IBC, subject to the conditions of this report. 5.14 The 1/4-inch-diameter (6.4 mm) SAMMYS Anchors may be used to resist short-term loading due to wind forces and seismic tension loads only in locations designated as Seismic Design Categories A through F under the IBC, subject to the conditions of this report. 5.15 Anchors are not permitted to support fire-resistance-rated construction. Where not otherwise prohibited by the code, anchors are permitted for installation in fire-resistance-rated construction provided that at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled: • Anchors are used to resist wind or seismic forces only. • Anchors that support a fire-resistance-rated envelope or a fire-resistance-rated membrane, are protected by approved fire-resistance-rated materials, or have been evaluated for resistance to fire exposure in accordance with recognized standards. • Anchors are used to support nonstructural elements. 5.16 The anchors have been evaluated for reliability against brittle failure and found to be not significantly sensitive to stress-induced hydrogen-embrittlement.
