LIMIT STATE DESIGN LOAD
Design Capacities for a Single High Load Easy Grip
| Joint group | Uplift Capacity (kN) |
|---|---|
| J2/JD3 | 24.9 |
| J3/JD4 | 17.6 |
| J4/JD5 | 12.4 |
NOTE: The capacities are derived from AS1720-2010 and are for uplift in houses where failure is unlikely to affect an area greater than 25m2. For primary elements in structures other than houses or elements in a house for which failure would be greater than 25m2 these capacities must be multiplied by 0.94. For primary joints in essential services or post disaster buildings multiply by 0.88. For 2/Grips the values can be doubled.
