Flier: Shearwall Anchor Bolt Installation Just Got Easier (F-L

Shearwall Anchor Bolt Installation
Just Got Easier
Introducing new pre-assembled anchor bolts and reusable anchor-bolt templates for the
Strong-Wall® SB shearwall, both designed to make shearwall installation easier and more
consistent. By using pre-assembled anchor bolts, installers no longer have to take valuable
time assembling components, and inspectors can look at the head stamp to quickly identify
length and material grade. To meet specific project demands, the SWSB-AB anchor bolts
are offered in 7/8" and 1" diameters and in standard and high-strength steel. In tall stemwall
applications where full embedment of an anchor bolt into the footing is required, Simpson
Strong-Tie offers the SWSB-HSR anchor extension kit that includes ASTM A449 highstrength rod with a heavy hex nut fixed in place and a high-strength coupler nut.
The new reusable SWSB anchor-bolt templates help accurately locate the SWSB-AB
anchor bolts on the forms prior to the concrete pour to speed up installation and reduce
placement mistakes. They also enable greater concrete flow when compared to traditional
leave-in templates, reducing the chance of voids in the concrete, which can lessen its
bearing capacity.
Features:
•• Removes much of the guesswork around Strong-Wall SB anchorage,
ensuring a better installation
•• Pre-assembled anchor bolts comply with ICC-ES ESR-2652
•• Head stamp includes bolt length, bolt diameter, and “HS” for High Strength
(when specified) for easier installation and inspection
•• Reusable templates save money and reduce concrete void issues
•• Anchor templates available for interior/exterior, brick ledge and panel-form applications

Hairpin reinforcement achieves
maximum allowable shear load of
the Strong-Wall® SB panel.
1.Shear anchorage designs conform to ACI 318-11 and assume minimum 2,500 psi concrete.
2.Tie or hairpin reinforcement (by others) is not required for interior foundation applications (panel installed away from edge of concrete),
or braced wall panel applications.
3.Seismic indicates Seismic Design Category C through F. Detached 1 and 2 family dwellings in SDC C may use wind anchorage solutions.
4.Wind includes Seismic Design Category A and B and detached 1 and 2 family dwellings in SDC C.
5.Use (1) #3 tie for SWSB12 when wall design shear force exceeds tabulated anchorage allowable shear load.
6. For Lt and Lh definitions, see C-L-SWSB.
7. For shear anchorage solutions when using the leave-in template, see C-L-SWSB.
