DRAWN BY: <br /> GENERAL NOTES <br /> ELmEcH <br /> A.

DEFINITIONS Anchors, including chemical and mechanical: all adhesive or mechanical anchors shall have a minimum normal load NOTES: <br /> Anchor side plate is a metal plate or plates used to connect the sill plate or floor framing to the side of a concrete capacity of 635 lbs. for 1/2 inch bolts and 980 lbs. for 5/8 inch bolts in 2000 psi concrete at the installed edge <br /> stem wall when conditions prevent chemical anchor or expansion bolt installation vertically through the sill plate. distance and depth of embedment. All proprietary anchors shall have current ICC or equivalent approval. <br /> Approval is current product acceptance under an ICC (International Code Council) evaluation report or Anchor side plate: All anchor side plates shall be galvanized when exposed to weather. The minimum seismic <br /> equivalent adjusted load capacity for shear in the direction of the sill plate must meet or exceed a capacity of 1260 lbs when <br /> substituted for 5/8 inch bolts and 840 lbs when substituted for 1/2 inch bolts.

For example, (400 lbs/840 lbs) x 72 in. o.c. = 34 in. o.c. instead of 72 in. o.c. for <br /> anchor compounds are organic compounds comprised of resin and hardener, that form adhesives when blended one—story using an anchor side plate with allowable values of 400 lbs instead of 840 lbs or greater.
