Atir Strap And Beamd With 72 Install _verified_
Once the system restarts, run the following tests to confirm a successful installation:
| Time Block | Activity | Critical Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Site Setup & Anchor Placement | Surveying must be millimeter-perfect for BEAMD columns. | | 12h - 24h | BEAMD Ground Level | Erect columns. Apply rapid-set grout. | | 24h - 36h | BEAMD Upper Levels | Erect beams. Install temporary bracing. | | 30h - 48h | ATIR Phase 1 | Parallel Workflow. While upper beams go up, crews install ATIR straps on lower levels. | | 48h - 60h | ATIR Phase 2 | Tensioning and locking of straps. Torque verification. | | 60h - 72h | Final Inspection & QC | Ultrasonic testing of BEAMD bolts; tension release test on ATIR samples. | atir strap and beamd with 72 install
In a 140 mph wind zone, ASCE 7-16 calculates uplift pressure at roughly 30 psf. That’s on that connection. The ATIR strap with a proper 72-inch installation (continuous fastening over 6 feet) distributes that load across 24+ fasteners, each rated for ~100 lbs in withdrawal. The math works. Once the system restarts, run the following tests
If using SDS screws, torque to manufacturer spec (typically 90-110 in-lbs). Check that no gap exists between the strap and wood. A gap of more than 1/32” voids the load rating. | | 24h - 36h | BEAMD Upper Levels | Erect beams
