Help converting loads shown in tables to ASD
I have a pure tension load of 1892 LBS on (2) S.S. HAS Rods using HIT-HY 200 adhesive. Minimum embedment is 4 1/2" and spacing is 4". If I take the loads from the table, load factor for spacing and then divide by a factor of safety of 4.0 - it does not work. I am fairly confident that it does work. What am I doing wrong with converting to ASD?
Thank you

Hi John,
The technical data in Hilti's simplified design tables is in accordance with strength design or LRFD methodology. If you are looking to convert these values to ASD, please refer to the equations on page 19 of Hilti's Anchor Fastening Product Technical Guide.
Regards,
Ashley
