The load reduction factors in this table are applicable to the allowable loads shown in Tables 8A and 8B.
Reduction factors are cumulative. Multiple reduction factors for more than one spacing or edge distance are calculated separately and multiplied.
3
Load reduction factors for anchors loaded in tension or shear with spacing between critical and minimum are obtained by linear interpolation.

The allowable tension and shear loads in Table 11A are applicable when anchors are installed in structures regulated by the IRC or IBC.
Minimum edge and end distances are measured from the anchor centerline to the edge and end of the CMU masonry wall, respectively. Refer
to Figure 4. Minimum spacing is measured from center-to-center of two anchors. Anchors installed in the mortared head joint are outside the scope
of this report.
3
The allowable loads in Table 11A are for anchors resisting dead, live, wind, and earthquake load applications. For short-term loading due to wind
and earthquake forces, the allowable loads may be increased as indicated in Section 3.2.4 of this report.
4
Loads for Grade N, Type II, lightweight, medium-weight, or normal-weight concrete masonry units (CMUs) conforming to ASTM C 90. Allowable
minimum nominal dimensions of the CMU shall be 8 inches wide by 8 inches high by 16 inches long (8"8"16"). Masonry wall construction shall
be fully grouted with coarse grout having a minimum compressive strength of 2,000 psi, and complying with IBC Section 2103.10 or IRC Section
R609.1.1, as applicable. Mortar shall comply with IBC Section 2103.7 or IRC Section R607.1, as applicable, and have a minimum compressive
strength of 1,500 psi. The specified compressive strength of masonry, fNm, at 28 days shall be a minimum of 1,500 psi.
5
Allowable tension and shear loads are based on a safety factor of 5.0, and are based on anchor installations with special inspection. Special
inspection shall be provided during anchor installation in accordance with Section 2107.2.1 of the IBC or Section R104.4 of the IRC, as applicable.
Refer to Section 4.2 of this report for special inspection requirements.

The allowable tension and shear loads in Table 11B are applicable for anchors installed in structures regulated by the UBC.
Minimum edge and end distances are measured from the anchor centerline to the edge and end of the CMU masonry wall, respectively. Refer
to Figure 4. Minimum spacing is measured from center-to-center of two anchors. Anchors installed in the mortared head joint are outside the scope
of this report.

The allowable loads in Table 11B are for anchors resisting dead, live, wind, and earthquake load applications. For short-term loading due to wind
and earthquake forces, the allowable loads may be increased as indicated in Section 3.2.4 of this report.
4
Loads for Grade N, Type II, lightweight, medium-weight, or normal-weight concrete masonry units (CMUs) conforming to UBC Standard 21-4.
Allowable minimum nominal dimensions of the CMU shall be 8 inches wide by 8 inches high by 16 inches long (8"8"16"). Masonry wall
construction shall be fully grouted with coarse grout having a minimum compressive strength of 2,000 psi, and complying with UBC Section 2103.4.
Mortar shall comply with UBC Section 2103.3 and UBC Standard 21-15, and have a minimum compressive strength of 1,500 psi. The specified
compressive strength of masonry, fNm, at 28 days shall be a minimum of 1,500 psi.
5
Allowable shear loads are based on a safety factor of 4.0. Special inspection for anchor installation is not required.
6
Allowable tension loads in the column entitled Installed with Special Inspection are based on a safety factor of 4.0. Special inspection shall be
provided during anchor installation, and shall comply with the requirements described in Section 4.2 of this report.
7
Allowable tension loads in the column entitled Installed without Special Inspection are based on a safety factor of 8.0. Special inspection for
anchor installation is not required for anchors assigned these reduced allowable tension loads.
