Shear Wall Hold Down Detail
Shear Wall Hold Down Detail
(OP)
I've attached two details - Is one, both or neither correct/typical?
I am also aware that Simpson makes hold downs which are more like straps that extend into the concrete but I'm 'neglecting' these for now.

If they are poured-in-place anchors, Simpson calls these SSTB abchors and they are usually used with HD type anchors. I believe the nomenclature has been changed in the recent Simpson catalog from A's to B's, and the values have changed too.
