Anchor in Masonry
Anchor in Masonry
(OP)
I have an epoxy anchor in 6" full grouted masonry. The anchor will have ~3000 lbs. shear applied to it. tension is minimal. The hilti manual states the anchor is ok. Does the shear resistance in the cmu wall seem adequate even though it is being applied at a two single points? Thanks.

Hilti tests their products so the values in their tables will account either for anchor failure or cmu failure. Just make sure you read the whole thing so you know exactly what number you should use.

Simpson will not allow a load that high for its epoxy anchors in grout-filled masonry, and they have one of the better test facilities in the industry for anchor testing, so I tend to believe their values.
