IRC, must be determined in accordance with ACI 318-14
Chapter 17 and this report.
Design strength of anchors complying with the 2012 IBC as
well as Section R301.1.3 of the 2012 IRC must be
determined in accordance with ACI 318-11 Appendix D and
this report.
Design parameters provided in Table 1 through Table 9 of
this report are based on the 2021 IBC (ACI 318-19), 2018
and 2015 IBC (ACI 318-14) and 2012 IBC (ACI 318-11)
unless noted otherwise in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.12.
