1. The data in this table is intended to be used with the design provisions of ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D, as applicable; for anchors resisting seismic load combinations the additional requirements of ACI 318-19 17.10, ACI 318-14 17.2.3 or ACI 318-11 D.3.3, as applicable, must apply.
2. Installation must comply with published instructions and details.
3. All values of f were determined from the load combinations of IBC section 1605.2, ACI 318 (-19 and -14) section 5.3 or ACI 318-11 section 9.2. If the load combinations ACI 318-11 Appendix C are used, the appropriate value of f must be determined in accordance with ACI 318-11 D.4.4. For reinforcement that meets ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Chapter 17 or ACI 318-11 Appendix D, as applicable, requirements for Condition A, see ACI 318-19 17.5.3, ACI 318-14 17.3.3(c) or ACI 318-11 D.4.3(c), as applicable, for the appropriate f factor.
4. It is assumed that the threaded rod or bolt used with the snake+ anchor is a ductile steel element with minimum specified properties as listed in the table or an equivalent steel element. The snake+ anchor is considered a brittle steel element in tension as defined by AACI 318 (-19 and -14) 2.3 or ACI 318-11 D.1, as applicable. Tabulated values for steel strength in tension must be used for design.
5. For all design cases use y c,n = 1.0. The appropriate effectiveness factor for cracked concrete (kcr) and uncracked concrete (kuncr) must be used.
6. For all design cases use y c,p = 1.0. For concrete compressive strength greater than 2,500 psi, Npn = (pullout strength from table)*(specified concrete compressive strength/2,500)0.5. For concrete over steel deck the value of 2,500 must be replaced with the value of 3,000.
7. Pullout strength does not control design of indicated anchors. Do not calculate pullout strength for indicated anchor size and embedment.
8. Anchors are permitted to be used in lightweight concrete provided the modification factor l a equal to 0.8 l is applied to all values of Ö f’c affecting Nn and Vn. l shall be determined in accordance with the corresponding version of ACI 318. For anchors installed in the soffit of sand- lightweight concrete-filled steel deck and floor and roof assemblies, further reduction of the pullout values provided in not required.
9. Values for Np,deck are for sand-lightweight concrete (f’c,min = 3,000 psi) and additional lightweight concrete reduction factors need not be applied. In addition, evaluation for the concrete breakout capacity in accordance with ACI 318-19 17.6.2, ACI 318-14 17.4.2 or ACI 318-11 D.5.2, as applicable, is not required for anchors installed in the deck soffit (flute).
10. Anchors are permitted in the topside of concrete-filled steel deck assemblies in accordance with the Installation Detail for Anchors in the Top of Concrete over steel Deck Floor and roof Assemblies with Minimum Topping Thickness..

Tabular values are provided for illustration and are applicable for single anchors installed in normal-weight concrete with minimum slab thickness, ha = hmin, and with
the following conditions:- ca1 is greater than or equal to the critical edge distance, cac (table values based on ca1 = cac).
- ca2 is greater than or equal to 1.5 times ca1.
-
Calculations were performed according to ACI 318-19 Chapter 17. The load level corresponding to the controlling failure mode is listed. (e.g. For tension: steel, concrete breakout and pullout; For shear: steel, concrete breakout and pryout). Furthermore, the capacities for concrete breakout strength in tension and pryout strength in shear are calculated using the effective embedment values, hef, for the selected anchors as noted in the design information tables. Please also reference the installation specifications for more information.
-
Strength reduction factors (ø) were based on ACI 318-19 Section 5.3 for load combinations.
Condition B is assumed. -
Tabular values are permitted for static loads only, seismic loading is not considered with these tables.
-
For designs that include combined tension and shear, the interaction of tension and shear loads must be calculated in accordance with ACI 318-19 Chapter 17.
-
Interpolation is not permitted to be used with the tabular values. For intermediate base material compressive strengths please see ACI 318-19 Chapter 17. For other
design conditions including seismic considerations please see ACI 318-19 Chapter 17. -
For seismic design in accordance with ACI 318, the tabulated tension design strengths for concrete breakout and pullout must be multiplied by a factor of 0.75.
REDUNDANT FASTENING
Redundant Fastening Applications
For an anchoring system designed with redundancy, the load maintained by an
anchor that experiences failure or excessive deflection can be transmitted to
neighboring anchors without significant consequences to the fixture or remaining
resistance of the anchoring system. In addition to the requirements for
anchors, the fixture being attached shall be able to resist the forces acting
on it assuming one of the fixing points is not carrying load. It is assumed
that by adhering to the limits placed on n1, n2 and n3 below, redundancy will
be satisfied.
Anchors qualified for redundant applications may be designed for use in normal
weight and sand-lightweight cracked and uncracked concrete. Concrete
compressive strength of 2,500 psi shall be used for design. No increase in
anchor capacity is permitted for concrete compressive strengths greater than
2,500 psi. The anchor installation is limited to concrete with a compressive
strength of 8,500 psi or less.
Redundant applications shall be limited to structures assigned to Seismic
Design Categories A or B only.
Redundant applications shall be limited to support of nonstructural elements.
Strength Design (Redundant Fastening):
For strength design, a redundant system is achieved by specifying and limiting
the following variables
n1 = the total number of anchorage points supporting the linear element
n2 = number of anchors per anchorage point
n3 = factored load at each anchorage point, lbs., using load combinations from
IBC Section 1605.2.1 or ACI 318 (-19 and -14) Section 5.3 or ACI 318-11
Section 9.2.
Strength Design (SD)
Design values for use with strength design shall be established taking fra •
Fra. See redundant fastening design information table for Snake+ design
resistance.
Allowable Stress Design (Redundant Fastening):
Design values for use with allowable stress design shall be established taking
Where å is the conversion factor calculated as the weighted average of the load factors from the controlling load combination. For example, the conversion factor, å is equal to 1.4 assuming all dead load.

For sI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 lbf = 0.0044 kN.
1. The data in this table is intended to be used with the design provisions of section 4.3 of this report; loads may be applied in tension, shear or any combination thereof.
2. Installation must comply with published instructions and this report.
3. All values of f were determined from the load combinations of IBC section 1605.2, ACI 318 (-19 and -14) section 5.3 or ACI 318 (-11) section 9.2, as applicable.
4. It is assumed that the threaded rod or bolt used with the snake+ anchor has properties as listed in Tension Design Information table.
5. Anchors are permitted to be used in lightweight concrete provided the design strength f ra Fra is multiplied by the modification factor l a. The modification factor l a is equal to 0.8 l , l shall be determined in accordance with the corresponding version of ACI 318. For anchors installed in the soffit of sand-lightweight concrete-filled steel deck and floor and roof assemblies, further reduction of the pullout values provided in not required.
6. For installations through the soffit of steel deck into concrete see the installation detail. Anchors in the lower flute may be installed with a maximum 1-inch offset in either direction from center of the flute. In addition, anchors shall have an axial spacing along the flute equal to the greater of 3hef or 1.5 times the flute width.

1. Tabulated load values are for anchors installed in uncracked concrete. Concrete compressive strength must be at the specified minimum at the time of installation.
2. Ultimate load capacities must be reduced by a minimum safety factor of 4.0 or greater to determine allowable working load.
3. The tabulated load values are applicable to single anchors in uncracked concrete installed at critical spacing distance between anchors and at critical edge distance.
4. Ultimate shear capacity is controlled by steel strength of AsTM A36 element (or equivalent).
