The manual allows the choice of anchors using either
a ‘Design Resistance’ approach or an ‘Approved/
Recommended Load’ approach. This gives the designer
the opportunity to use either factored or unfactored
loads. Where reduced spacings or edge distances are
necessary the actual reduced load is given in the tables,
saving the need to calculate the figures using reduction
factors.

this is clearly shown with the ETA number and can be
verified on the EOTA website www.eota.be.
The Technical Manual can be downloaded from the
JCP website or by contacting the JCP Technical Helpline.
Where more complex anchor load calculations are
required these can be resolved by contacting the JCP
