ICC-ES AC01
Full Name
ICC-ES AC01 – Acceptance Criteria for Mechanical Anchors in Cracked and Uncracked Masonry Elements
Scope
ICC-ES AC01 establishes the requirements for mechanical anchors in masonry elements to be recognized in an ICC-ES evaluation report under the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC).
Key points about the scope of ICC-ES AC01:
- Types of anchors: covers expansion anchors (mechanical anchors) in masonry elements.
- Masonry types: includes various masonry types like concrete masonry, clay brick, and stone.
- Loading conditions: addresses both cracked and uncracked masonry conditions.
- Evaluation and testing: specifies the testing procedures and evaluation criteria for the anchors.
- Code compliance: ensures that anchors meeting the criteria are recognized under the IBC and IRC.
