Adhere to the following guidelines for attachments to concrete components: a) Do not use powder-driven fasteners to attach sway bracing to concrete components of the structural system. b) When the strength of concrete is unknown, the appropriate fastener size may be selected from Table 13 (Table 14 for metric) based on the configuration of the fastener with respect to the structural member and the angle of the brace from the vertical. The load values given correspond to the applied horizontal seismic load (either H or a fraction of H not less than H/2, depending on sway bracing configuration) for the worst-case angle from the vertical for the range of angles given. In other words, the seismic design load on the fastener must be less than the table values for the fastener size and configuration selected. Values in Tables 13 and 14 may be used when the following conditions are met: i. The expansion or wedge anchors are listed for use in seismic applications by the local governing jurisdiction based on testing that establishes parameters for anchor design. In the United States, an example of a local governing jurisdiction would be the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) evaluation services guide, and an example of an acceptable testing protocol is the American Concrete Institute (ACI) standard 355.2, Qualification of Post-Installed Mechanical Anchors in Concrete. ii. A minimum edge distance of 12 times the bolt diameter (12D b) and a minimum embedment depth of 6D b are provided, unless otherwise allowed by the manufacturer and calculations are provided to verify adequacy. iii. All details of the installation are in conformance with the manufacturer’s instructions and any guidelines established by the local governing jurisdiction as part of their load ratings, including any inspection requirements or certification of concrete strength. iv. Verification of the capability of the structural member and the point of attachment to withstand the anticipated load is included with the system design information. c) Expansion anchors may be selected from a manufacturer’s product line if they meet conditions (i) through (iv) in item b above as well as the following conditions: i. The capacity of an anchor or group of anchors is established using ACI 318 Appendix D or a similar local building code or standard. ii. The relationship between actual calculated shear and tension loads, and allowable shear and tension loads, conforms to the following equations: (S ACT/S ALL) +(T ACT/T ALL) ≤ 1.2 (S ACT/S ALL) ≤ 1.0 (T ACT/T ALL) ≤ 1.0 where S ACT = calculated actual shear load using Figs. 8 through 13. S ALL = local governing jurisdiction-approved shear load. T ACT = calculated actual tension load using Figs. 8 through 13. T ALL = local governing jurisdiction-approved allowable tension load. d) Cast-in-place concrete inserts may be used in place of expansion anchors if the governing jurisdiction-approved loads for the inserts are greater than or equal to the values for the specified expansion anchor. 7. Adhere to the following guidelines for attachments to steel structural members: a) Make attachments to solid steel structural members using through-bolts in drilled holes, welded studs, or connection hardware that is FM Approved for use in resisting seismic loads. Do not use powder-driven fasteners or C-clamps (even those with retaining straps) to attach sway bracing to steel structural members. b) Select the appropriate fastener size from Table 15 (Table 16 for metric) for through-bolts, corresponding to the bolt configuration with respect to the structural member, and the applied horizontal seismic load (either H, or a fraction of H not less than H/2, depending on sway bracing configuration), for the worst-case angle from the vertical for the range of angles given.

Stud load-carrying capabilities need to be adequate for the anticipated seismic load H. d) For attachment to other types of steel structural members, such as “C” or “Z” purlins, trusses, or joists, the adequacy of the structural member and the point of attachment to carry the anticipated load need to be determined as part of the system design and included with the system design information. D. Make attachments to the sprinkler piping in accordance with the following guidelines. See Fig. 17 for examples of bracing attachment to piping. 1. Make connections, capable of carrying the anticipated seismic load, directly to the sprinkler piping with FM Approved connectors or with a pipe clamp, a U-bolt that is mechanically fastened to the brace using nuts and washers, or other positive mechanical means of attachment. 2. Avoid methods of attachment that allow excessive movement, such as pipe rings, because they result in a loose fit. 3. Provide verification of the load-carrying capacity for the attachment to the pipe with the system design information. Length of lag screw under head, L, in. (mm) Table 8.
