Kwik Bolts in CMU

I am checking the capacity of a steel angle attached to fully grouted CMU with 3/4" diam Kwik Bolts and I wanted to verify the "Minimum Distance from Edge of Block" is based on the edge distance to the edge of wall and not the the edge of an individual block.

Thanks,
Nate

Hilti Verified

Nate,

You are correct, the edge distance values provided in Table 39: "Carbon Steel Hilti KWIK Bolt 3 Allowable Loads in Grout-Filled Concrete Masonry Units" will be representative of the minimum distance from the edge of the block wall (reflected in Table 2 of ESR-1385). Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan
