Re: Shed Soil Anchors
Dear Mr. Jordan:
Knezevich and Associates, Inc. has reviewed the 1994 South Florida
Building Code, including its ASCE 7 -88 provisions and determined
that the enclosed table may be used for soil anchors manufactured
by Tie Down Engineering. These tables were prepared for sheds
shown on State of Florida approved drawings, Nos. RCA -93, 149 -004,
and 149 -005, with maximum wall height of 7' -8" and for helical,
drive and slab, type anchors only.
We have enclosed the Tie Down •Engineering Dr. No. MHP -101, Helix
anchor, Dr. No. MHP -110, Cross Drive rock.anchor, and MHP -120 Patio
Slab anchor as acceptable reference drawings. One strap, 1 -1/4"
wide X 0.035" thick, connecting two anchors on opposite sides shall
be used. Strap models and material properties are shown on Tie
Down Engineering's Dr. No. MHP -035.
