Note:
1. These data are the results of laboratory testing conducted in controlled laboratory environment and conditions.
2. The technical parameters are of ultimate designation
3. The data tabulated are minimum and/or average values.

It Matters
 Specific job site conditions should be taken into consideration when using
this information and accordingly data may vary.
 Unless otherwise noted, load values based upon testing conducted in
accordance with AISI S905
 Calculations to evaluate the test results and to determine the characteristic
fastener strength are made in accordance with Section F1 of AISI S100.

Note:
1. The Values are based on test sheet of Tensile strength of member not in contact with head or washer, Fu = 450 MPa. For Steel with Fu=350 MPa, multiply values by 0.78 For Steel with Fu=310 MPa, multiply values
by 0.68.
2. Pull out Load values based upon calculations done in accordance with Section E4 of the AISI S100.
3. Load values are based upon testing conducted in accordance with AISI S905. These data are the results of laboratory testing conducted in controlled laboratory environment and conditions.
4. AISI S100 recommends a safety factor Ω= 3.0 be applied for ASD, a factor Φ = 0.5 be applied for LRFD design or a factor Φ = 0.4 be applied for LSD design.

Turning Lever to Pull-out

Gauge to Measure Pull-out
Pull-out Test:
Load
Typical Stand to mount on subject
Arrangement
Clamp to hold the screw

Pull-out Schematic Screw fastened into test plate Pull-over Schematic

It Matters
 Pull-out is a failure mode where fasteners are pulled free from support.
 Pull-over is a failure mode where a steel sheet is pulled over the fastener
head (i.e. the fastener head is pulled through the steel sheet).
 The Pull-out and Pull-over modes shall be identified when loading induces
tension in the shank of fastener that connects steel as thin as 0.38 mm to
structural support members.
