A107.5.3 Prequalification Test for Bolts and Other Types of Anchors

Existing Building Code 2015 of Idaho > A1 Seismic Strengthening Provisions for Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Wall Buildings > A107 Quality Control > A107.5 Tests of Anchors in Unreinforced Masonry Walls > A107.5.3 Prequalification Test for Bolts and Other Types of Anchors
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
This section is applicable when it is desired to use tension or shear values for anchors greater than those permitted by Table A1-E.The direct-tension test procedure set forth in Section A107.5.1 for existing anchors shall be used to determine the allowable tension values for new embedded through bolts, except that no preload is required. Bolts shall be installed in the same manner and using the same materials as will be used in the actual construction. A minimum of five tests for each bolt size and type shall be performed for each class of masonry in which they are proposed to be used. The allowable tension values for such anchors shall be the lesser of the average ultimate load divided by a safety factor of 5.0 or the average load at which 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) elongation occurs for each size and type of bolt and class of masonry.

The test procedure for prequalification of shear bolts shall comply with ASTM E 488 or another approved procedure.

The allowable values determined in this manner shall be permitted to exceed those set forth in Table A1-E.
