Re: Shallow Expansion Anchors

Larry,
 
Try ASCE 7 05 Section 13.4.2.  The UBC 97 "shallow anchor" language is now the ductile (steel) vs. brittle (concrete) mode of failure.  All kinds of penalties.

Subject: Shallow Expansion Anchors

To All,

For anhcoring equipemnt, an Rp = 1.5 shall be used for shallow expansion anchors. Can someone direct me to where this is in the code and the definition of a "shallow expansion anchor"?

Thanks in advance,

Larry Hauer S.E.
