Qualification tests for devices used for wall anchorage shall be tested with the entire tension load carried on the enlarged head at the exterior face of the wall. Bond on the part of the device between the enlarged head and the interior wall face shall be eliminated for the qualification tests. The resistance value assigned the device shall be twenty percent (20%) of the average of the ultimate loads. SECTION 7: That Section 8-2007 of the Santa Aha Municipal Code, is hereby amended to read as follows: Sec. 8-2007. INFORMATION REQUIRED ON PLANS. (a) GENERAL.

All existing rod anchors shall be secured to joists or rafters to develop the required forces. Testing to verify adequacy of embedded ends of existing rod anchors, shall conform to Section 8-2006. (2) Diaphragm chord stresses of horizontal diaphragms shall be developed in existing materials or by addition of new materials. (3) Where roof or floor members other than rafters or joists are supported in masonry pockets, ledgers or columns shall be installed to support vertical loads of the roof or floor members.
