Hold-downs are used to transfer tension and shear loads between
floors, shear walls and anchor studs to foundations. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized FASTENERS: Lag screws
Factored resistance is based on parallel to grain loading in accordance
with CSA 086.1-94.
Factored resistance has been increased by 15 % for short term load
duration (wind, earthquake).
The anchor bolts between the concrete and hold down shall have sufficient
embedments to resist the tabulated loads.
Factored resistance is based on 3" stud thickness and 1/4 " f ´ 3"
lag screws.
