Installing earthquake rods
Procedure 59
Installing Kit B
1
Locate the two mounting plates for each column over the anchor holes.
Insert the anchors into the holes and tap the anchors into place with a
mallet.
2
Level the plates with shims. Leave the stack of shims exposed until all
leveling has been completed (this will allow the addition or removal of
shims if necessary).
3
If the installation must meet CALIFORNIA OSHPD, tension proof load
testing is required on 50% of the anchor bolts. These anchors must be
tested to 6230 N (1400 lb) tension and 122 J (90 ft-lb) torque. Any failure
requires testing of all remaining anchors.
