RV2 = adjustment factor for edge distance, shear Vallow = allowable shear load (based on mean value
loading parallel to free edge from tests and a global safety factor), lb (kN)

RV3 = adjustment factor for edge distance, shear Vd = design shear load (unfactored), lb (kN)
loading perpendicular and away from free edge
Vrec = recommended shear load, lb (kN)
fy = specified reinforcing bar yield strength, psi (MPa)
3.1.8.2 General requirements
Fy = specified bolt minimum yield strength, psi (MPa) and recommended
Fu = specified bolt minimum ultimate strength, loads
psi (MPa) In accordance with the general ASD principles, the design of
h = thickness of member in which anchor is anchors must satisfy the following conditions:
embedded as measured parallel to anchor axis, Nservice Nrec
in. (mm) Vservice Vrec
hef = effective anchor embedment depth, in. (mm) whereby Nservice and Vservice are the service tension and shear
hmin = minimum member thickness, in. (mm) loads resulting from the governing load combinations (i.e.
ASCE 7-10) and Nrec and Vrec are the recommended allowable
hnom = distance between base material surface and loads for an anchor or a group of anchors.
bottom of anchor (prior to setting is applicable),
in. (mm) The ASD method is currently referenced in masonry-related
ICC-ES AC01, AC58, AC60, and AC106.
ho = depth of full diameter hole in base material,
in. (mm) The recommended allowable loads for an anchor or a group
of anchors are obtained as follows:
= anchor embedded length, in. (mm)
Tension: Nrec = Nallow RN A
th = anchor useable thread length, in. (mm) Shear: Vrec = Vallow RV A
MuM,5% = characteristic flexural resistance of anchor where:
bolt (5% fractile) , in-lb (Nm)
Nrec = recommended tension load
Nallow = allowable tension load, lb (kN) Nallow = allowable load (based on the mean value from
Nd = design tension load (unfactored), lb (kN) laboratory testing to failure and a global safety
factor)
Nrec = recommended tension load, lb (kN)
Vrec = recommended shear load
s = anchor axial spacing, in. (mm)
Vallow = allowable shear load
scr = critical spacing between adjacent A = adjustment factor for anchor spacing
loaded anchors, in. (mm)
RN = adjustment factor for edge distance,
smin = minimum spacing between adjacent tension loading
loaded anchors, in. (mm) RV1 = adjustment factor for edge distance, shear loading
S = elastic section modulus of anchor bolt, in. (mm ) 3 3 perpendicular and toward free edge

sW = width of anchor nut across flats, in. (mm)
t fix = maximum thickness of attachment
(e.g. baseplate) to be fastened, in. (mm)
Tinst = recommended anchor installation torque,
ft-lb (Nm)
Tmax = maximum tightening torque, ft-lb (Nm)
RV2 = adjustment factor for edge distance, shear loading
parallel to free edge
RV3 = adjustment factor for edge distance, shear loading
perpendicular and away from free edge
Adjustment factors are multiplicative and are applied for all
edge and spacing conditions that are less than ccr and scr,
respectively.
