Design values for use with allowable stress design (working stress design) shall be established as follows: Rallow,ASD = Rαd

where Rd =  Rk represents the limiting design strength in tension ( Nn ) or shear (  Vn ) as calculated according to ACI 318 D.4.1.1 and D.4.1.2

1 Values are for single anchors with no edge distance or spacing reduction. For other cases, calculation of R d as per ACI 318-05 and conversion to ASD in accordance with Table 5.
2 Values are for normal weight concrete. For sand-lightweight concrete, multiply values by 0.85. For all-lightweight concrete, multiply values by 0.75. See ACI 318-05 D.3.4.
3 Condition B applies where supplementary reinforcement in conformance with ACI 318-05 D.4.4 is not provided, or where pullout or pryout strength governs. For cases where the
presence of supplementary reinforcement can be verified, the strength reduction factors associated with Condition A may be used.
4 Allowable static tension loads for 2,500 psi are calculated by multiplying the concrete breakout strength N b by the strength reduction φ factor of 0.65 and dividing by an α of 1.4
according to ICC ESR-1917 Section 4.2. N b is calculated as per ACI 318-05 D.5.2.2. This load may be adjusted for other concrete strengths according to ICC ESR-1917 Section
4.1.3 by using the following equation.

2 Values are for normal weight concrete. For sand-lightweight concrete, multiply values by 0.85. For all-lightweight concrete, multiply values by 0.75. See ACI 318-05 D.3.4.
3 Condition B applies where supplementary reinforcement in conformance with ACI 318-05 D.4.4 is not provided, or where pullout or pryout strength governs. For cases where the
presence of supplementary reinforcement can be verified, the strength reduction factors associated with Condition A may be used.
4 Allowable seismic tension loads for 2,500 psi are calculated by multiplying the pullout strength N pn by the strength reduction φ factor of 0.65, then multiplying by a 0.75 factor

1 Pullout strength values N pn,deck are for anchors installed in lightweight concrete having a minimum 2,500 psi compressive strength at the time of installation. See Table 3
ESR-1917. The values listed in Table 11 have been calculated assuming a minimum 3,000 psi concrete compressive strength. The pullout strength may be adjusted for
other lightweight concrete compressive strengths according to ICC ESR-1917 Section 4.1.3 using the following equation:

2 Minimum anchor spacing along the flute shall be the greater of 3.0 h ef or 1.5 times the flute width in accordance with ICC ESR-1917 Section 4.1.3.
3 Anchors in the lower flute may be installed with a maximum 1-inch offset in either direction. See Figure 5 in ESR-1917.
4 Allowable seismic tension and shear loads are calculated by multiplying N pn,deck and V sa,deck by the strength reduction φ factor of 0.65, the seismic reduction φ factor of
0.75 according to ACI 318 D3.3.3, and then divided by an α of 1.1 according to ICC ESR-1917 Section 4.2.
5 Allowable non-seismic tension and shear loads are calculated by multiplying N pn,deck and V sa,deck by the strength reduction φ factor of 0.65 and dividing by an α of 1.4
according to ICC ESR-1917 Section 4.2.
