Earthbound SlackJack: a seismic, snow and wind load holdown system for wood framed structures.

Threaded Rod
The Earthbound System is proud to feature domestic and traceable threaded rod.
Earthbound Threaded Rod Features and Benefits:
●Made in the USA with 100% traceability of the materials and manufacturing processes.
●Zinc plated rod is available for low carbon A36/A307 (60 ksi) applications. Plain or black rod is also available.
●High Strength (HS) rod A193B7 (125 ksi) is typically black to avoid confusion with zinc plated low carbon A36/A307 on a job site.
●All threaded rod is UNC (Unified National Coarse) threaded.
●Hot Dip Galvanized A449 and Stainless Steel threaded rod is available for pressure or fire treated lumber.
●Other threaded rod specifications available upon request.

THREADED ROD NOTES:
1. STANDARD STRENGTH ROD / ASTM A36: F'u = 60,000 PSI. "UNC" THREAD PITCH.
2. HIGH STRENGTH ROD (HS) / ASTM A193B7: F'u = 125,000 PSI. "UNC" THREAD PITCH.
3. TENSION LOADS ARE CALCULATED FROM THE FOLLOWING EQUATIONS:
A. (100) THREADED ROD CAPACITY = [(0.33 F'u * Nominal Area)] PER AISC 9th EDITION (UBC97 thru IBC2003)
B. (133) COLUMN CONTAINS 1/3 SEISMIC DURATION INCREASE (100) LOADS ALLOWED UNDER UBC 97.
C. (IBC 2006-09 LRFD) THREADED ROD CAPACITY = [(0.75 * F'u * Ase - Stress Area)] - STRENGTH DESIGN ONLY
D. (IBC 2006-09 ASD) THREADED ROD CAPACITY = [(0.75 * F'u * Ase - Stress Area) / 1.428] - ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN ONLY
E. (0.125 MAX) THREADED ROD ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN CAPACITY BASED ON 0.125 INCHES MAX ELONGATION - 10 FEET AND MoE=29E6.
F. CANADA NBCC 2005 USE ONLY: FACTORED RESISTANCES SHOWN ARE THE LOWER OF 13.2.(a)(i), 13.2.(a)(ii) and 13.12.1.2 of CSA S16-01.
4. "UNC" = UNIFIED NATIONAL COARSE THREADED ROD PITCH.
5. (*) = AVAILABLE BY SPECIAL ORDER, CHECK WITH EARTHBOUND FOR AVAILABILITY.
