Refer to the attached diagram.

I'm trying to justify using a lower pressure than the negative wall corner pressure so that I can make these anchors work. The balcony is enclosed on three sides by existing brick, and the exposed side has a 6" CMU guardrail. The balcony also has a roof over it.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks in advance.
