Combined Shear and Tension Loading for UDI Drop-In Anchors

Allowable loads for anchors subjected to combined shear and tension forces are determined by the

following equation:(Ps/Pt) + (Vs/Vt) = 1

GENERAL ANCHOR NOTES:1. Caution: UDI drop-in anchors are

designed to operate properly only when installed with UDI brand FRT setting tools.

2. The use of a 24 to 40 ounce hammer is recommended for expanding UDI drop-in anchors.

3. Anchors should be installed with carbide tipped hammer drill bits made in accordance to ANSI B212.15-1994 specifications.

4. UDI drop in anchors are tested to ASTM E488 and are approved and listed by agencies as required by local building codes.

5 . U D I d r o p - i n a n c h o r s a r e n o t recommended for use in new concrete which has not had sufficient time to cure.

6 . U D I d r o p - i n a n c h o r s a r e n o t recommended for use in light weight masonry such as block or brick.

HEX HEAD CAP SCREW NOTES:1. UDI Type 316 stainless steel cap screws

conform to ASTM 316F593G and ASME B18.2.1.

2. “316F593G” and the manufactures identification number is stamped on the head of each Type 316 stainless steel screw.

3. The manufacturing lot number is marked on each carton of fasteners and has full traceability.

4. Upon request UDI will supply written certification that a given lot of fasteners conforms to the applicable specification.

The BNT family of cable supports meets power utility needs for a manhole cable support system that is nonmetallic and nonconductive. The non- metallic property is the solution to steel cable rack rust and corrosion problems while the nonconductive properties eliminate cable support grounding and insulator requirements.

A complete nonmetallic solution, consisting of BNT nonmetallic stanchions, arms and cross p ins should be se lected for new and replacement installations. Since BNT arms mate with many existing steel stanchions, retrofitting of existing manholes can be accomplished by initially changing out the steel arms with BNT arms. The existing steel stanchions may be replaced, as necessary, at a later date.

Arm installation is safe and simple - the arms are secured in place with nonmetallic pins, allowing for installation and removal of the arms without disturbing any cable.

Due to the extreme strength and rigidity of the BNT stanchions, most installations require only two bolts to secure a stanchion to the manhole wall.

BNT arms and stanchions have loading capacities comparable to similar heavy duty steel cable racks.
