ICC-ES AC106
Full Name
ICC-ES AC106 – Acceptance Criteria for Predrilled Fasteners (Screw Anchors) in Masonry
Scope
ICC-ES AC106 establishes the requirements for predrilled fasteners, also known as screw anchors, in masonry to be recognized in an ICC-ES evaluation report under the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC).
The scope of AC106 covers the following aspects:
- Materials: it specifies the requirements for the materials used in the manufacture of screw anchors, including the anchor itself, the screw, and any washers or other components.
- Design and construction: it outlines the design and construction requirements for screw anchors, including the dimensions, tolerances, and mechanical properties of the anchor and screw.
- Performance: it defines the performance requirements for screw anchors, including their tensile strength, shear strength, and resistance to pullout and fatigue in both cracked and uncracked masonry.
- Testing: it details the testing procedures to be used to evaluate the performance of screw anchors, including static load testing, dynamic load testing, and fatigue testing in various masonry substrates.
- Installation: it provides guidelines for the proper installation of screw anchors in masonry to ensure their long-term performance and safety.
In essence, AC106 serves to ensure that screw anchors used in masonry construction meet the necessary safety and performance standards as outlined in the IBC and IRC. This provides confidence to builders and engineers that the screw anchors will perform as expected and provide a secure and reliable connection between the fastener and the masonry substrate.
