See PTG Ed. 22 Section 3.1.8 to convert design strength value to ASD value.
2
Linear interpolation between embedment depths and concrete compressive strengths are not permitted.
3
Apply spacing, edge distance, and concrete thickness factors in Tables 5 through 12 as necessary. Compare to the steel values in Table 4.
The lesser of the values is to be used for the design.

Data is for max. short term temperature = 176°F (80°C), max. long term temperature = 110°F (43°C). Short term elevated concrete temperatures are those
that occur over brief intervals, e.g., as a result of diurnal cycling. Long term concrete temperatures are roughly constant over significant periods of time.
5
Tabular values are for dry and water saturated concrete conditions.
6
Tabular values are for short term loads only. For sustained loads including overhead use, see PTG Ed. 22 Section 3.1.8.
7
Tabular values are for normal weight concrete only. For lightweight concrete multiply design strength by λa as follows:
For sand-lightweight, λa = 0.51. For all-lightweight, λa = 0.45.

The Kwik-X Dual Action Anchor system will provide greater load capacities with greater flexibility. This includes immediate loading
in a vast range of temperatures. The amount of load capacity immediately available after installation of the Kwik-X Dual Action
Anchor system will vary depending on the concrete temperature at the time of installation. As shown in Figure 3 below, in the very
cold spectrum of temperatures the immediate load capacity available will be that of the Hilti KH-EZ / KH-EZ CRC screw anchor
until the full cure time has elapsed. For the load capacity of the Hilti KH-EZ / KH-EZ CRC screw anchor please refer to ESR-3027
or Section 3.3.6 of PTG Ed. 22.

Linear interpolation is not permitted.

When combining multiple load adjustment factors (e.g. for a four-anchor pattern in a corner with thin concrete member) the design can become very conservative. To
optimize the design, use Hilti PROFIS Engineering Design software or perform anchor calculation using design equations from ACI 318 Chapter 17.
3
Spacing factor reduction in shear applicable when c < 3*hef. ƒAV, is applicable when edge distance, c < 3*hef. If c ≥ 3*hef, then ƒAV = ƒAN.
4
Concrete thickness reduction factor in shear, ƒHV, is applicable when edge distance, c < 3*hef. If c ≥ 3*hef, then ƒHV = 1.0.

When combining multiple load adjustment factors (e.g. for a four-anchor pattern in a corner with thin concrete member) the design can become very conservative. To
optimize the design, use Hilti PROFIS Engineering Design software or perform anchor calculation using design equations from ACI 318 Chapter 17.

Spacing factor reduction in shear applicable when c < 3*hef. ƒAV, is applicable when edge distance, c < 3*hef. If c ≥ 3*hef, then ƒAV = ƒAN.

Concrete thickness reduction factor in shear, ƒHV, is applicable when edge distance, c < 3*hef. If c ≥ 3*hef, then ƒHV = 1.0.

Design information in this table is taken from ICC-ES ESR-5065 and converted for use with CSA A23.3 Annex D.

See Table 1 and Figure 2 of this section.

For all design cases, ψc,N = 1.0. The appropriate coefficient for breakout resistance for cracked concrete (kc,cr) or uncracked concrete (kc,uncr) must be used.

For use with the load combinations of CSA A23.3 chapter 8. Condition B applies where supplementary reinforcement in conformance with CSA A23.3
section D.5.3 is not provided, or where pullout or pryout strength governs. For cases where the presence of supplementary reinforcement can be verified,
the resistance modification factors associated with Condition A may be used.
5
Temperature range max. short term temperature = 176°F (80°C), max. long term temperature = 110°F (43°C).
Short term elevated concrete temperatures are those that occur over brief intervals, e.g., as a result of diurnal cycling. Long term concrete temperatures are roughly
constant over significant periods of time.
6
Bond strength values corresponding to concrete compressive strength f'c = 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa). For concrete compressive strength, f'c, between 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa)
and 8,000 psi (55.2 MPa), the tabulated characteristic bond strength may be increased by a factor of (f'c/2,500)n [for SI: (f'c / 17.2)n].
where n = 0.18 for uncracked and n = 0.14 for cracked concrete.
7
For effective embedments greater than 76mm use a bond stress of 2,000 psi (13.8 MPa).
