Reduction Factors - Edge and Spacing
Distances for Socket Anchor
The full characteristic edge and spacing
distances shown in the table above are the
minimum allowable for the quoted DESIGN
RESISTANCE or RECOMMENDED LOAD,
depending on your design method. Where
these dimensions are not achievable, the
appropriate reduction factor/s from the
tables below must be applied to the
DESIGN RESISTANCE or RECOMMENDED
LOAD. Choose the required bolt diameter
across the top of the appropriate table and
read down the left hand column until
actual edge or spacing distance is found.
Read off the reduction factor where the
two lines intersect (interpolate as required).
Multiply this factor by the DESIGN
RESISTANCE or RECOMMENDED LOAD
quoted in the table. On the occasion that
multiple close edge and/or spacing
distances occur, the appropriate reduction
factors must be applied.
