Loads 3,4
(lbs)
1. Allowable masonry bearing loads based on f'm of 1,500 psi. Wood bearing based on 560 psi.
2. When installed on masonry, use the lesser of the masonry or the wood allowable load values. When installed on
concrete, a minimum f'c 2000 psi shall be used and use the wood values as the limiting allowable bearing load values.
3. Allowable horizontal loads are bolt values and include a 33% increase for earthquake or wind loading.
Loads must be reduced if stresses in masonry or concrete are limiting.
4. Beams must fully bear on base plate.
5. The GLBT5 has a WT4x9 structural tee; the GLBT6 has a WT4x12 structural tee.
6. Specify W dimension when ordering.
7. For 2003 International Building Code loads: Masonry 195 psi values are not applicable and
Masonry 390 psi values shall be reduced by 0.96.
