(Link #3)<br />

For masonry or concrete walls, the wood sill plate is typically connected by anchor bolts, cast-in straps, or<br />

other approved fasteners capable of maintaining a load path for uplift, lateral, and shear loads. Anchorage<br />

spacing varies based on the anchorage resistance to pullout, the resistance of the plate to bending, and<br />

strength of the anchorage in shear. Anchorage must be spaced to resist pullout, and the plate must resist<br />

bending and splitting. Placing anchor bolts close together assists in reducing the bending stress in the plate.<br />
