11.3.2 Anchors Used in the Attachment of Equipment and Other Components

California Administrative Code 2019 > 6 Seismic Evaluation Procedures for Hospital Buildings > 11 Evaluation of Critical Nonstructural Components and Systems > 11.3 Testing Requirements for Evaluating the Performance of Existing Mechanical Fasteners > 11.3.2 Anchors Used in the Attachment of Equipment and Other Components
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

For anchors used in the attachment of equipment and other components listed in the 1995 CBC, Part 2, Title 24, Table 16A-0, the following shall apply:

  1. A minimum of one anchor of a given size shall be tension tested for each piece of equipment or other component under consideration. Where the number of anchors for the piece of equipment or component exceeds four, a minimum of 20 percent of the anchors shall be tension tested. Where none of the anchors in the group have calculated tension, testing shall consist of torque testing.
  2. The tension test load shall be three times the maximum tension force calculated for an anchor in the attachment group using the design loads specified in Section 1630B of 1998 California Building Code (CBC) or equivalent provision in later version of the CBC or 500 pounds minimum. One-quarter (1/4)-inch diameter anchors need not be tested.

    Exception: Internally threaded anchors, such as shell type anchors, shall be tested to four times the maximum calculated design loads. Attachment hardware shall be shimmed or removed prior to testing so that it does not prevent the possible withdrawal of the anchor.

  3. If a single anchor fails, all anchors in the attachment group shall be tested. If two or more anchors fail, the component shall be retrofitted for the forces as for new construction.
