For SI: 1°F = (°C x 9/5) + 32.
1. For water-saturated concrete, submerged concrete and water-filled holes, the cure times shall be doubled.
2. For installation of anchors in concrete where the temperature is below 70°F (21°C),
the adhesive must be conditioned to a minimum temperature of 70°F (21°C).

1. The information presented in this table is to be used in conjunction with the design criteria of ACI 318-19, ACI 318-14 and ACI 318-11.
2. The tabulated value of φ applies when the load combinations from the IBC or ACI 318 are used and the requirements of ACI 318-19 17.5.3,
ACI 318-14 17.3.3 or ACI 318-11 D.4.3, as applicable, are met. If the load combinations of ACI 318-11 Appendix C are used, refer to
ACI 318-11 D.4.4 to determine the appropriate value of φ.
3. The values of Vsa are applicable for both cracked concrete and uncracked concrete. For anchors installed in regions assigned to
