Question: 4 . 5 An angle L 5 5 1 2 section is used as a shelf angle to support a 4 - inch brick veneer

4.5 An angle L 5512 section is used as a shelf angle to support a 4-inch brick veneer wall of 7.5 feet in
height. The anchors are at every 4 feet spacing attaching the shelf angle to a grouted CMU masonry wall
of adequate design to accommodate the anchors. The anchor edge distance is 10 inches. The cavity
between the CMU wall and the brick veneer is 2 inches. The anchor used has the following properties:
Cast in-place headed A307 type with a diameter equal to 58 inches. The embedment length is 4.5
inches. Note: the yield resistance of the anchor steel is 36,000 psi.
The masonry compressive strength fm'=1,500. Use ASD method in this problem.
(a) Compute the axial load and shear in the anchor (neglecting the self-weight of the angle and
using the lever arm as 3-t2 inches).
(b) Compute the ASD resistances for tension and shear for the anchor.
(c) Using the interaction equation for tension and shear, decide whether the anchor is ok.
