ESR-2787 Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 2 of 8 such recommendations, the anchors with the G185 zinc coating must be used. 3.2.1 FA3 Foundation Mudsill Anchor: The anchor consists of a 5 3 / 4-inch-long (146 mm) embedded portion with a 1-inch long (25 mm) end hook bent at 75 degrees, and a protruding portion. The portion of the anchor extending out of the concrete consists of a strap split to provide two nailing flanges. This enables the product to have both flanges wrap over the mudsill, or one flange wrap over the mudsill and the other extend vertically along the narrow face of a stud. Embossment lines are provided on the flanges as a guide when the flanges are fastened to the edge of concrete form board. The anchors are manufactured from Grade 42 steel, with a minimum yield strength of 42,000 psi (289 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 56,000 psi (385 MPa). See Figure 1 and Table 1 for more information. 3.2.2 FA4 Foundation Anchors: The FA4 and FA4-TZ anchors consist of a 5 3 / 16-inch-long (132 mm) embedded portion with a tab bent at 90 degrees. The portion of the anchor extending out of the concrete consists of a strap split to provide two nailing flanges. This enables the product to have both flanges wrap over the mudsill, or one flange wrap over the mudsill and the other extend vertically along the edge of a stud. The anchors are manufactured from Grade 40 steel, with a minimum yield strength of 40,000 psi (276 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 55,000 psi (379 MPa). See Figure 1 and Table 1 for more information. 3.3 Strap-Style Hold-downs: Strap-style hold-downs consist of a single piece of coldformed steel. One end of the hold-down is embedded in concrete, and the remaining portion of the hold-down is fastened to a vertical wood member. The hold-downs are manufactured from Grade 42 steel, with a minimum yield strength of 42,000 psi (289 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 56,000 psi (385 MPa). 3.3.1 PAHD42 and HPAHD22 Strap-Style Hold-downs: The end embedded in the concrete has an embossed, right-angle return 2 inches (51 mm) long. See Figure 2 and Table 2 for more information. 3.3.2 STAD Series Strap-style Hold-downs: The end embedded in the concrete has a right angle return, 2 inches (51 mm) long. See Figure 3 and Table 2 for more information. 3.4 Assembly Materials: 3.4.1 Wood: Wood members must be sawn lumber or structural glued laminated timber with a minimum specific gravity of 0.50 or, when approved by the code official, structural engineered lumber such as structural composite lumber or alternative stand lumber with a minimum equivalent specific gravity of 0.50. Wood members must have a moisture content not exceeding 19 percent for sawn lumber (16 percent for structural composite lumber), except as noted in Section 4.1.1. The thickness of each wood member must be of sufficient thickness that the specified fasteners do not protrude through the opposite side of the member. Wood members that are structural engineered lumber must be recognized in, and used in accordance with, a current ICC-ES evaluation report. Refer to Section 3.4.2 in this report for issues related to treated wood. 3.4.2 Fasteners: Fastener types noted in the tables in this report for use with the USP structural connectors must comply with the following requirements: Nails must comply with the material, physical property, tolerance, workmanship, protective coating and finishes, packaging and package marking requirements specified in ASTM F1667, including the bending yield strength requirements specified in Section S1 of ASTM F1667; and must have the dimensions shown in the following table: FASTENER TYPE FASTENER LENGTH (inches) SHANK DIAMETER MINIMUM HEAD DIAMETER 10d 1 1 / 2 1.5 0.148 0.281 10d common 3 0.148 0.281 sinker 3.25 0.148 0.310 common 3.5 0.162 0.310 For SI: 1 in. = 25.4 mm. Fasteners used in contact with preservative-treated or fire-retardant-treated lumber must comply with IBC Section 2304.10.5 or IRC Section R317.3, as applicable. In addition, the lumber treater s recommendations or recommendations of USP Structural Connectors, MiTek USA, Inc., on minimum corrosion resistance and connection capacities of fasteners used with the specific proprietary preservative-treated or fire-treated lumber, must be followed. 3.4.3 Concrete: Concrete must be normal-weight concrete complying with the provisions of IBC Chapter 19 or IRC Section R402.2, as applicable. The allowable loads in the tables in this report are based on a minimum specified concrete compressive strength, f c, of 2,500 psi (17.24 MPa). The concrete must comply with the minimum dimensional requirements noted in the tables and figures. 3.4.4 Steel Reinforcement Bars (Rebar): Steel reinforcement bars must be minimum No. 4 deformed reinforcing bars complying with ACI 318. 4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 4.1 Design: 4.1.1 General: Allowable loads for the anchor assemblies for use in Allowable Stress Design (ASD) are shown in the tables in this report, based on anchorage to concrete strength and wood connection strength. The lesser of these applicable allowable loads must be used for design. The allowable loads for wood connection strength include the load duration factor applicable to wind and earthquake loading (C D = 1.6) in accordance with the ANSI/AWC National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction, and no increase of these values is allowed. Allowable loads for anchorage to concrete are provided for both wind design and seismic design. The allowable seismic loads address installation into either cracked or uncracked concrete and different seismic design categories (SDCs). For simultaneous loads applied in more than one direction, the connector must be evaluated using a straight line interaction equation. The tabulated allowable loads are for connectors connected to wood used under continuously dry interior conditions, and where sustained temperatures are 100 F (37.8 C) or less. When fastened to wood that will experience sustained exposure to temperatures exceeding 100 F (37.8 C), the allowable loads based on wood connection strength must be adjusted by the temperature factor, C t, specified in the NDS. When connectors are fastened to wood having a moisture content greater than 19 percent (16 percent for engineered lumber), or where

ESR-2787 Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 3 of 8 wet service is expected, the allowable loads based on wood connection strength must be adjusted by the wet service factor, C M, as specified in the NDS for lateral loads on dowel-type fasteners. Allowable loads for installation into uncracked concrete are applicable for connectors installed in a region of a concrete member where analysis indicates no cracking at service level loads. When analysis indicates cracking at service level loads, the allowable loads for installation into cracked concrete must be used. The allowable loads were derived assuming the entire load applied to the anchor was either from wind or seismic forces. Refer to the footnotes to the tables to determine the design strengths for use in load and resistance factor design (LRFD). 4.1.2 Foundation Anchors: The capacities shown in Table 1 are for assemblies using an FA3 or FA4 foundation anchor. Each assembly consists of a foundation anchor; a wood member having minimum specified dimensions and properties; fasteners of the tabulated type and quantity, used to attach the anchor to the wood member; and a concrete member (supplemental reinforcement not required). When one strap leg is fastened to a stud, it is assumed that the uplift, F1, F2 and F3 loads on the anchor are transmitted through the sill plate into the anchor. Fastening requirements for transferring load from the stud to the sill plate must be determined in accordance with the applicable code. 4.1.3 Strap-style Hold-downs: The capacities shown in Table 2 are for assemblies using strap-style hold-downs. Each assembly consists of a hold-down device; a wood member having minimum specified dimensions and properties; fasteners of the tabulated type and quantity used to attach the hold-down device to the wood member; and a concrete member with supplemental reinforcement described in the footnotes to Table 2. Wood members to which the hold-downs are attached must be analyzed in accordance with the NDS for combined axial tension stress and flexural stress due to hold-down eccentricities relative to the centroid of the connected wood member. The deflection of a shear wall restrained from overturning by hold-downs installed in accordance with this report must be calculated using Equation 23-2 shown in IBC Section 2305.3 for stapled shear walls, or Equation 4.3-1 shown in Section 4.3.2 of ANSI/AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) for nailed shear walls, or a proprietary deflection equation recognized in an ICC-ES evaluation report, as applicable. The total deflection values at ASD level shown in Table 3 include all sources of hold-down assembly elongation (e.g., fastener slip and hold-down device extension). 4.2 Installation: 4.2.1 General: Installation of the connectors must be in accordance with this evaluation report and the manufacturer s published installation instructions. In the event of a conflict between this report and the manufacturer s published installation instructions, this report governs. Refer to Figures 1 through 3 and the footnotes to Tables 1 and 2 for typical installation details. The connectors must be placed prior to casting the concrete in such a way as to ensure they will have the required embedment depth, spacing and edge distance. The connectors must not be bent and/or fastened to the wood until the concrete has sufficiently cured so that the anchor placement does not shift and the concrete is not damaged. The connectors must be fastened to the wood members using the fastener type and minimum quantity noted in the applicable table. 4.2.2 Foundation Anchors: Foundation anchors must be spaced a minimum of 8 inches (203 mm) and a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) from the end of the concrete foundation wall. Anchors must be placed no more than 12 inches (305 mm) from the end of the sill plate, in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. When one strap leg is fastened to a stud, the minimum distance from the center of the fasteners to the edge of the stud must be 3 / 8 inch (10 mm). In addition to being fastened with the anchor, the wood stud must be fastened to the wood sill plate in accordance with the minimum fastening requirements in the code. 4.3 Special Inspection: 4.3.1 IBC: For the purpose of determining special inspection requirements, connectors are considered special cases (they are alternates to anchor bolts and must be installed following the manufacturer s installation instructions) and may be used as elements of a main wind or seismic force-resisting system. 4.3.2 IRC: For installations complying with the IRC, special inspection is not required. 5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE The USP Structural Connectors described in this report comply with, or 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 The connectors must be manufactured, identified and installed in accordance with this report and the manufacturer s published installation instructions. In the event of a conflict between this report and the manufacturer s published installation instructions, the more restrictive governs. 5.2 Calculations showing compliance with this report must be submitted to the code official. The calculations must be prepared by a registered design professional where required by the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed. 5.3 Connected wood members, fasteners, concrete and reinforcement must comply with Sections 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.3 and 3.4.4, respectively. 5.4 Adjustment factors noted in Section 4.1.1 and the applicable codes must be considered, where applicable. 5.5 Use of fasteners with preservative- or fire-retardanttreated lumber shall be in accordance with Section 3.4.2 of this report. Foundation anchors with a G185 coating may be used with preservative- or fire-retardant-treated lumber in accordance with IBC Section 2304.10.5.1.

At least 1- #4 rebar must be installed in the shear cone as shown in the figures. 2 Location implies that the distance from the corner of the wall to the edge of the strap is no less than 1 / 2 inch. Location implies that the minimum distance from the corner of the wall to the centerline of the strap is no less than 1.5 times the embedment depth. For edge distances between 1 / 2 inch and 1.5 times the embedment depth, use straight line interpolation to determine the allowable load. 3 Minimum anchor spacing for full capacity is 2 times the Embedment Depth. For spacing less than this, reduce the tabulated capacity proportionally. 4 To obtain design strengths for use in LRFD, the tabulated allowable (ASD) loads based on anchorage to concrete strength for wind and SDC A and B must be multiplied by 1.6, and the tabulated allowable (ASD) loads for SDC C, D, E, and F must be multiplied by 1.4. 5 Allowable loads for anchors fastened to wood members are based on allowable stress design (ASD) and include the load duration factor (C D) corresponding to wind and earthquake loading in accordance with the NDS.
