Hold-downs are used to transfer tension and shear loads between
floors, shear walls and anchor studs to foundations.
MATERIAL: See table
FINISH: Galvanized or prime painted (welded models).
Factored resistance is based on parallel to grain loading in accordance
with CSA 086.1-94.
Factored resistance is increased by 15 % for short term load duration
(wind, earthquake).
"C" is the required minimum distance from the end of the
stud to the centre of the first hole.
Wood member must have adequate load carrying capacity at the critical
net section.
The anchor bolts between the concrete and hold down shall have sufficient
embedments to resist the tabulated loads.
Bolts holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" and maximum of 1/16"
larger than the diameter of the bolt to be installed.
Standard washers are required for anchor and stud bolts.
