What's New
172 New Standard Strong Frame Models
Our customers asked for more versatility and weve responded by expanding our Strong Frame ordinary moment frame product
line to include 28 new opening sizes resulting in 172 new models. Now our factory-built moment frame is available in sizes up to
20' wide and 19' tall encompassing a total of 56 total opening sizes and 368 models.
Custom Strong Frame Sizes
If one of our standard sizes of Strong Frame ordinary moment frame doesnt suit your project, have no fear we now offer
custom sizes to fit almost any project. Using our standard Strong Frame column and beam profiles we can now manufacture
frames to your size specifications in clear-opening widths ranging from 6' to 20'-4" and clear-opening heights from 6' to
19'-10 12". Now you can get just the right size Strong Frame moment frame for your new or retrofit project. Call your local
Simpson Strong-Tie representative at (800) 999-5099 for more details on the ordering process and lead times.
New Strong Frame Ordinary Moment Frame Selector Software
To help Designers with specification, weve created the new Strong Frame Selector software. The user inputs desired loads as well
as the height, width and available space for columns and the program suggests a list of available frames ranked according to cost. It
will also suggest anchorage-solution options. To download a FREE copy visit www.strongtie.com/strongframe.
Changes To This Catalog
In order to make this catalog a more effective design tool, we have re-formatted the layout to better work with the design process.
All of the design concepts and details are summarized, and are color coded to match the section in the catalog where those items
are explained in detail. We have also included alternate loading detail sheets (also available on www.strongtie.com/strongframe) so
Designers can input loads for needs not addressed in the catalog and then fax them to Simpson Strong-Tie for frame design assistance.
We also have enhanced design example pages to make it easier to design and select the most economical frame to fit your needs.

2. Tighten all bolts to snug-tight condition, making sure the bolt head does
not turn while the nut is turned (see Figure 2). Snug-tight condition is
the tightness attained by either a few impacts of an impact wrench or
the full effort of a worker with an ordinary spud wrench that brings the
beam end plate and column ange into rm contact. (Little or no orange
silicone from the DTI washer should be visible at this time; see Figure 3).

Pretensioned Joints
1. Install a DTI washer under the bolt head, with the protrusions against
the bolt head. Slide the bolt through the connection holes. Install the
hardened washer and nut on opposite side (see Figure 1).
2. Tighten all bolts to snug-tight condition, making sure the bolt head does
not turn while the nut is turned (see Figure 2). Snug-tight condition is
the tightness attained by either a few impacts of an impact wrench or
the full effort of a worker with an ordinary spud wrench that brings the
beam end plate and column ange into rm contact. Little or no orange
silicone from the DTI washer should be visible at this time (see Figure 3).
3. Once all bolts are snug-tight, calibrate the DTI washers by fully
tightening one of the four inside bolts (see Figure 4). Proper installation
pretension is reached when the 0.015" feeler gauge can no longer be
inserted all the way into the bolt shank at three or more of the ve
notches between the silicon markers (see Figure 5). Remember to make
sure the bolt head does not turn while the nut is turned.
4. Tighten all bolts, starting with the most rigid part of the joint (typically
the three remaining inside bolts, and then the four bolts above and
below the beam) (see Figure 4). The proper installation pretension is
reached when the amount of squirt from the silicon markers matches
the washer from the calibration in Step 3. When tightening bolts, make
sure the bolt head does not turn while the nut is turned.

plates are in rm contact. If the gap exceeds 18", shims must be installed.
Gaps away from the bolt heads are permitted. If the connection plates
cannot be drawn together sufciently by tightening the bolts, additional
shims are required. Total thickness of shims under each bolt head must
not exceed 14". To install shims, loosen connection bolts and slide provided
shims around the bolts where necessary. Make sure shims do not protrude
beyond the outer edges of the connection plates, and re-tighten bolts.

Retrofit Applications
Strong Frame Ordinary Moment Frame Retrot Applications
The Strong Frame ordinary moment frame is an excellent option for retrotting a moment frame into an existing structure. And with
our new expanded range of standard as well as custom sizes, we can provide a moment frame for practically any eld condition. It is the
installers responsibility to safely and adequately temporarily shore the existing structure per OSHA and jurisdictional recommendations
during the moment frame installation process. Check with the local building department for requirements.
Suggested Installation Instructions for Retrot Applications
1. Install anchorage into the footing per the Designers specications.
2. Install 58" heavy hex nuts onto the anchors, lowering them all the way
down to the concrete. These will be used to level the frame.
3. Place the Strong Frame columns onto the anchors so that they sit on
the leveling nuts.
4. Plumb both columns, and install temporary bracing on each,
perpendicular to the building line. Install the remaining 58" heavy hex
nuts, nger-tight against the base plate.
5. Raise the Strong Frame beam straight up between the two columns
until the tops of the connection plates are ush. The interior column
wood nailers may need to be removed and replaced after the beam is
in place.
8. Making sure that all leveling nuts are fully seated against the bottom of
the base plate, fully tighten the baseplate nuts ( turn past nger tight).
Install non-shrink grout per instructions.
9. Re-install the ordinary moment frame column wood nailers using
carriage bolts, if removed.

where required. Fully tighten the nuts with a wrench, tightening all the
bolts on one side of the beam, and then the other. (See page 15.)
7. Rotate the nuts on the base plate to the top of the anchors and, working
from side to side, raise the leveling nuts until the moment frame top
plate is at proper elevation.

Strong Frame
Design Information
Simplied Design
Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Frame ordinary moment frames are preengineered and simplify design for a wide variety of applications:
Beams are designed as unbraced no beam bracing required within
the span.
Frame designed assuming pinned-base condition.
Allowable loads applicable to wind and seismic loads no need to
convert.
Use in the same manner as any other ordinary steel moment frame
can be used in vertical and horizontal combinations with other lateralforce-resisting elements in accordance with the IBC and ASCE 7-05.
Designs are based on calculation no test reports required; easily
adaptable to alternate installations. Calculation packages are available
for each frame, contact Simpson Strong-Tie, if required.
Details are provided (in this catalog) to adjust the height of the top of
the frame when the frame height does not match the structure.
Details are provided (in this catalog) to allow additional beam and
column penetrations to simplify the installation of utilities.
Strong Frame
Design Information
Anchorage Design
Simpson Strong-Tie offers pre-engineered anchorage solutions to
simplify the design process. Pages 3944 provide solutions for both
tension and shear anchorage for all of the Strong Frame ordinary
moment frame models.
Tension Anchorage
Anchorage solutions for tension loads provide minimum anchor
rod embedment and footing size. Where additional uplift from wind
occurs, Table 1.2 on page 39 may be used to design an anchorage
solution.
OMFSL and OMFAB Anchorage Assemblies
Simpson Strong-Tie offers two different pre-assembled anchorage
assemblies. The OMFSL anchorage assembly places the frame ush
with the edge of concrete allowing it to t into a standard 2x6 wall
without bump-outs or furring. The OMFAB anchorage assembly with
additional concrete reinforcement is an economical alternative for
applications where 2 (or greater) edge distance exists.

ACI 318, D.5.3
ACI 318, D.6.1
AISC Chapter F
AISC Design Guide 1
ACI 318, chapter 10
Anchorage Designs are based on LRFD loads. For designs under the
2006 IBC, tension anchorage for seismic loads complies with ACI
318-05 Appendix D; design includes application of 0.75 factor on
concrete strengths (Section D.3.3.3) and the strength is governed
by a ductile steel element (Section D.3.3.4) or is based on 2.5 x
factored loads (Section D.3.3.5 with modications contained in 2006
IBC section 1908.1.16). For designs under the 2009 IBC, tension
anchorage for seismic loads complies with ACI 318-08 Appendix
D; design includes application of 0.75 factor on concrete strengths
(Section D.3.3.3), and strength is governed by a ductile steel element
(Section D.3.3.4) or is based on 2.5 x factored loads (Section D.3.3.6).
Anchorage designs are based on embedment for tension into the
foundation, while shear design is based on resistance within the
curb or slab. For other conditions, the designer must consider the
interaction of tension and shear concrete failure surfaces.
Because the Strong Frame ordinary moment frame includes premanufactured components, all welding inspections are completed during
the manufacturing process. Welding of the frame members is performed
on the premises of a fabricator registered and approved in accordance
with the requirements of IBC Section 1704.2.2 for fabricator approval,
so special inspections contained in IBC Section 1704 are not required.
Special inspection for seismic resistance required by IBC Section 1707
for welding is completed during the manufacturing process.
Flexible Anchorage Solutions
Both Simplied and Detailed options are provided for anchorage
design in order to allow ease of design and specication as well as
rened design for project-specic load conditions. For simplied
anchorage solutions, after selecting a frame, all that is needed to
determine the required anchorage is the column size and nominal
frame height. For cases where more economical anchorage is
desired, Detailed anchorage solutions provide capacities of the
anchorage assemblies. Simply use the maximum reactions tabulated
in the allowable load tables for the selected frame, and nd the
required anchorage with a capacity that exceeds the reactions. For
even further economy, select an anchorage solution using reactions
calculated for project-specic loads as described in the footnotes of
the allowable load tables
18
Inspections
Inspection requirements for the Strong Frame ordinary moment frame
are no different than for any other ordinary steel moment frame. The
Designer must designate what inspections are required in accordance
with the local code, based on building occupancy, concrete strength,
requirements of the local building ofcial, and other considerations.
Strong Frame
Frame Selection
Step 1
Check if OMF is
permitted
Determine if an ordinary steel moment frame is permitted for your structure. For structures designed in accordance with ASCE 7-05:
Ordinary steel moment frames may be used in Seismic Design Categories A, B and C without limitations
Ordinary steel moment frames may be used in Seismic Design Categories D, E and F subject to limitations set forth in
Sections 12.2.5.6, 12.2.5.7, and 12.2.5.8
Step 2
Check R value
If seismic loads are calculated using R > 3.5, convert loads by multiplying by the R used in design and dividing by 3.5.
Step 3
Select nominal
height and width
Select the nominal height (8', 9', 10', 12', 14', 16', 18', or 19') for your structure where the frame will be installed and nd the
corresponding allowable load table on pages 2237. Next select the frame clear-opening width (8'-2", 10'-2", 12'-4", 14'-4", 16'4", 18'-4", or 20'-4") that will accommodate the required wall penetration.
Step 4
Check vertical
loading
Compare vertical loads on your frame with the limits listed in footnotes 2 and 3 of the allowable load tables:
If the beam is loaded with only uniformly distributed vertical loads and the allowable stress design (ASD) uniform loads
are all less than the limits listed in footnote 2, use Maximum Shear values. If SDS > 1.0, check if uniform dead load must
include additional vertical seismic load effects (see allowable load tables, footnote 2).
If the beam is loaded with uniform vertical loads that exceed the limits, a single vertical point load at mid-span, or multiple
point loads applied symmetrically about mid-span, use Minimum Shear" values.
If your vertical loading does not meet these criteria, use the Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Frame Ordinary Moment Frame
Selector software or contact Simpson Strong-Tie to perform a design for custom loading or complete alternate loading
worksheet on page 66.
Step 5
Select
Strong Frame
model
Using the Maximum Shear or Minimum Shear as determined in Step 4, select a frame with a tabulated allowable ASD shear that
exceeds the applied load. For wind design, check that the tabulated drift meets drift limits established for the project. Drift may be
linearly reduced if the applied load is less than the tabulated frame capacity. (See footnote 16 on allowable load tables.)
Step 6
Check Wmax
For frames selected using Minimum Shear values, check that the maximum total vertical load based on ASD load combinations is
less than the tabulated value of Wmax. If not, select a different frame and re-check.
Step 7
Check
Strong Frame
dimensions
Using nominal height and width tables above the allowable load tables, verify that the Strong Frame selected will accommodate
the required wall opening:
Check that the clear-opening width (W1) is equal to or greater than the wall opening width.
Check that the outside frame width (W2) ts within the available wall space.
Check that the frame's clear-opening height (H3) is equal to or greater than that required (remember to add the curb/
stemwall height to H3 for installations with the frame base above the oor level).
Step 8
Select bolt
tightening
requirements
Determine if snug-tight or pretensioned bolts are required for the end plate connections:
In Seismic Design Categories D, E, or F, pretensioned bolts are required
In Seismic Design Category A, B, or C, snug-tight bolts may be used when seismic design is based on R 3, otherwise
pretensioned bolts are required.
Step 9
In the allowable load tables, select between the nail (16d commons) and screw (1/4"x3-1/2" SDS) options for attaching a eldinstalled top plate to the frame nailers. For seismic design, quantity of fasteners must be increased if the connection is required
to be designed as a collector for load combinations with overstrength (see ASCE 7-05, Section 12.10.2.1).

Naming Scheme
1. Allowable shear loads assume a pinned base and are applicable to seismic designs utilizing
R = 3.5 and wind designs. For seismic designs with R=6.5, multiply design loads by 6.5/3.5.
2. Maximum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
following allowable stress design uniform gravity loads: w = 800-plf dead load, 400-plf
oor live load, and 400-plf roof live load. Seismic load combinations assume SDS=1.0 to
determine Ev. Where SDS>1.0, check that (1.0 + 0.14SDS)D is less than 800 plf. Where
gravity loads exceed any of these values, use Minimum Shear loads (see Note 3).
3. Minimum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
maximum total vertical load, Wmax, which may be applied as a single point load at midspan, P=Wmax, as multiple point loads applied symmetrically about mid-span of the beam,
P1+P2++Pi=Wmax, or as a uniform distributed load, wmax = Wmax/Lbeam. Wmax shall be
determined based on the governing load combination of the applicable building code, and
shall include Ev for seismic loads.
4. Horizontal column shear reactions can be solved by the equations below. Maximum
horizontal shear reactions occur at the compression column. Designer to determine
governing load combinations based on the applicable building code.
Compression Column:
RH = V2 + X(P)
V = Design Frame Shear (lbs)
or
P = Midspan Point Load (lbs), based on governing load combination
2
RH = V2 + X( 3 wL)
w= Uniform Load (lbs/ft), based on governing load combination
L = Column Centerline Dimension, W1 + 3" + Column Depth (ft)
Tension Column
X = Frame Shear Reaction Factor (no units)
RH = V2
5. Tension reactions are for Maximum Shear with a resisting vertical load equal to
(0.6 - 0.14SDS) times the frame weight, based on an assumed SDS=1.0. Where Maximum
Shear is not listed, tension reactions consider Minimum Shear. Reduced ASD tension
forces may be calculated by the Designer by statics. See Example #2 for calculation of
reduced tension with applied lateral shear and resisting vertical loads.
T = (Vh-MR)/L
V = Design frame shear (lbs)
h = Steel column height, H1-6" (ft)
MR = Resisting ASD factored moment due to dead load (ft-lbs)
L = Column centerline dimension, W1 + 3" + column depth (ft)

R = 3.5 and wind designs. For seismic designs with R=6.5, multiply design loads by 6.5/3.5.
2. Maximum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
following allowable stress design uniform gravity loads: w = 800-plf dead load, 400-plf
oor live load, and 400-plf roof live load. Seismic load combinations assume SDS=1.0 to
determine Ev. Where SDS>1.0, check that (1.0 + 0.14SDS)D is less than 800 plf. Where
gravity loads exceed any of these values, use Minimum Shear loads (see Note 3).
3. Minimum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
maximum total vertical load, Wmax, which may be applied as a single point load at midspan, P=Wmax, as multiple point loads applied symmetrically about mid-span of the beam,
P1+P2++Pi=Wmax, or as a uniform distributed load, wmax = Wmax/Lbeam. Wmax shall be
determined based on the governing load combination of the applicable building code, and
shall include Ev for seismic loads.
4. Horizontal column shear reactions can be solved by the equations below. Maximum
horizontal shear reactions occur at the compression column. Designer to determine
governing load combinations based on the applicable building code.
Compression Column:
RH = V2 + X(P)
V = Design Frame Shear (lbs)
or
P = Midspan Point Load (lbs), based on governing load combination
2
RH = V2 + X( 3 wL)
w= Uniform Load (lbs/ft), based on governing load combination
L = Column Centerline Dimension, W1 + 3" + Column Depth (ft)
Tension Column
X = Frame Shear Reaction Factor (no units)
RH = V2
5. Tension reactions are for Maximum Shear with a resisting vertical load equal to
(0.6 - 0.14SDS) times the frame weight, based on an assumed SDS=1.0. Where Maximum
Shear is not listed, tension reactions consider Minimum Shear. Reduced ASD tension
forces may be calculated by the Designer by statics. See Example #2 for calculation of
reduced tension with applied lateral shear and resisting vertical loads.
T = (Vh-MR)/L
V = Design frame shear (lbs)
h = Steel column height, H1-6" (ft)
MR = Resisting ASD factored moment due to dead load (ft-lbs)
L = Column centerline dimension, W1 + 3" + column depth (ft)

Naming Scheme
1. Allowable shear loads assume a pinned base and are applicable to seismic designs utilizing
R = 3.5 and wind designs. For seismic designs with R=6.5, multiply design loads by 6.5/3.5.
2. Maximum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
following allowable stress design uniform gravity loads: w = 800-plf dead load, 400-plf
oor live load, and 400-plf roof live load. Seismic load combinations assume SDS=1.0 to
determine Ev. Where SDS>1.0, check that (1.0 + 0.14SDS)D is less than 800 plf. Where
gravity loads exceed any of these values, use Minimum Shear loads (see Note 3).
3. Minimum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
maximum total vertical load, Wmax, which may be applied as a single point load at midspan, P=Wmax, as multiple point loads applied symmetrically about mid-span of the beam,
P1+P2++Pi=Wmax, or as a uniform distributed load, wmax = Wmax/Lbeam. Wmax shall be
determined based on the governing load combination of the applicable building code, and
shall include Ev for seismic loads.
4. Horizontal column shear reactions can be solved by the equations below. Maximum
horizontal shear reactions occur at the compression column. Designer to determine
governing load combinations based on the applicable building code.
Compression Column:
RH = V2 + X(P)
V = Design Frame Shear (lbs)
or
P = Midspan Point Load (lbs), based on governing load combination

RH = V2 + X( 3 wL)
w= Uniform Load (lbs/ft), based on governing load combination
L = Column Centerline Dimension, W1 + 3" + Column Depth (ft)
Tension Column
X = Frame Shear Reaction Factor (no units)
RH = V2
5. Tension reactions are for Maximum Shear with a resisting vertical load equal to
(0.6 - 0.14SDS) times the frame weight, based on an assumed SDS=1.0. Where Maximum
Shear is not listed, tension reactions consider Minimum Shear. Reduced ASD tension
forces may be calculated by the Designer by statics. See Example #2 for calculation of
reduced tension with applied lateral shear and resisting vertical loads.
T = (Vh-MR)/L
V = Design frame shear (lbs)
h = Steel column height, H1-6" (ft)
MR = Resisting ASD factored moment due to dead load (ft-lbs)
L = Column centerline dimension, W1 + 3" + column depth (ft)

Naming Scheme
1. Allowable shear loads assume a pinned base and are applicable to seismic designs utilizing
R = 3.5 and wind designs. For seismic designs with R=6.5, multiply design loads by 6.5/3.5.
2. Maximum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
following allowable stress design uniform gravity loads: w = 800-plf dead load, 400-plf
oor live load, and 400-plf roof live load. Seismic load combinations assume SDS=1.0 to
determine Ev. Where SDS>1.0, check that (1.0 + 0.14SDS)D is less than 800 plf. Where
gravity loads exceed any of these values, use Minimum Shear loads (see Note 3).
3. Minimum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
maximum total vertical load, Wmax, which may be applied as a single point load at midspan, P=Wmax, as multiple point loads applied symmetrically about mid-span of the beam,
P1+P2++Pi=Wmax, or as a uniform distributed load, wmax = Wmax/Lbeam. Wmax shall be
determined based on the governing load combination of the applicable building code, and
shall include Ev for seismic loads.
4. Horizontal column shear reactions can be solved by the equations below. Maximum
horizontal shear reactions occur at the compression column. Designer to determine
governing load combinations based on the applicable building code.
Compression Column:
RH = V2 + X(P)
V = Design Frame Shear (lbs)
or
P = Midspan Point Load (lbs), based on governing load combination
2
RH = V2 + X( 3 wL)
w= Uniform Load (lbs/ft), based on governing load combination
L = Column Centerline Dimension, W1 + 3" + Column Depth (ft)
Tension Column
X = Frame Shear Reaction Factor (no units)
RH = V2
5. Tension reactions are for Maximum Shear with a resisting vertical load equal to
(0.6 - 0.14SDS) times the frame weight, based on an assumed SDS=1.0. Where Maximum
Shear is not listed, tension reactions consider Minimum Shear. Reduced ASD tension
forces may be calculated by the Designer by statics. See Example #2 for calculation of
reduced tension with applied lateral shear and resisting vertical loads.
T = (Vh-MR)/L
V = Design frame shear (lbs)
h = Steel column height, H1-6" (ft)
MR = Resisting ASD factored moment due to dead load (ft-lbs)
L = Column centerline dimension, W1 + 3" + column depth (ft)

Naming Scheme
1. Allowable shear loads assume a pinned base and are applicable to seismic designs utilizing
R = 3.5 and wind designs. For seismic designs with R=6.5, multiply design loads by 6.5/3.5.
2. Maximum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
following allowable stress design uniform gravity loads: w = 800-plf dead load, 400-plf
oor live load, and 400-plf roof live load. Seismic load combinations assume SDS=1.0 to
determine Ev. Where SDS>1.0, check that (1.0 + 0.14SDS)D is less than 800 plf. Where
gravity loads exceed any of these values, use Minimum Shear loads (see Note 3).
3. Minimum Shear is allowable horizontal shear force, V, applied in combination with the
maximum total vertical load, Wmax, which may be applied as a single point load at midspan, P=Wmax, as multiple point loads applied symmetrically about mid-span of the beam,
P1+P2++Pi=Wmax, or as a uniform distributed load, wmax = Wmax/Lbeam. Wmax shall be
determined based on the governing load combination of the applicable building code, and
shall include Ev for seismic loads.
4. Horizontal column shear reactions can be solved by the equations below. Maximum
horizontal shear reactions occur at the compression column. Designer to determine
governing load combinations based on the applicable building code.
Compression Column:
RH = V2 + X(P)
V = Design Frame Shear (lbs)
or
P = Midspan Point Load (lbs), based on governing load combination
2
RH = V2 + X( 3 wL)
w= Uniform Load (lbs/ft), based on governing load combination
L = Column Centerline Dimension, W1 + 3" + Column Depth (ft)
Tension Column
X = Frame Shear Reaction Factor (no units)
RH = V2
5. Tension reactions are for Maximum Shear with a resisting vertical load equal to
(0.6 - 0.14SDS) times the frame weight, based on an assumed SDS=1.0. Where Maximum
Shear is not listed, tension reactions consider Minimum Shear. Reduced ASD tension
forces may be calculated by the Designer by statics. See Example #2 for calculation of
reduced tension with applied lateral shear and resisting vertical loads.
T = (Vh-MR)/L
V = Design frame shear (lbs)
h = Steel column height, H1-6" (ft)
MR = Resisting ASD factored moment due to dead load (ft-lbs)
L = Column centerline dimension, W1 + 3" + column depth (ft)

Introduction to Anchorage
The Strong Frame ordinary moment frame simplies anchorage:
Streamlined footing design: Pre-engineered anchorage solutions
simplify the design process. No more tedious anchor calculations, just
select the solution that ts your footing geometry and you are done.
Two pre-engineered anchorage options available: The OMFSL
anchorage assembly places the frame ush with the edge of concrete
allowing it to t into a standard 2x6 wall without bump-outs or
furring. The OMFAB tied-anchorage assembly is designed for use
where a 2x8 wall is acceptable.
Pre-assembled anchor-bolt assemblies: Anchor bolts are
pre-assembled on an OMF-TPL template that mounts on the
form. This helps ensure correct anchor placement for trouble-free
installation of columns.
Field exibility to address anchor location issues: Connections
can be shimmed to provide up to " of adjustment when anchor
bolts are misaligned.
Reusable layout tool for reliable anchor location: Optional
Universal Template Locator (UTL) allows precise placement
of anchor-bolt assemblies for both columns, helping to ensure
correct positioning. See page 45.

Footing Dimensions
(in)
1. Wind includes Seismic Design Category A & B, and detached 1 and 2 family
dwellings in SDC C.
2. Seismic denotes Seismic Design Category C with R 3.0. For designs based
on R = 3.5, see Table 1.2. Detached 1 and 2 family dwellings in SDC C may
use wind solutions.
3. Anchorage solutions are based on maximum tension reactions resulting
from the tabulated allowable shear loads applied to the frame in combination
with the gravity loads noted. For frames with an applied shear less than the
allowable load or with additional uplift, see Table 1.2. See pages 4044 for
required anchorage assembly strength.
4. Seismic denotes Seismic Design Category C through F with R = 3.5 and
R 3.0. Designs in Seismic Design Category A or B and detached 1 and 2
family dwellings in SDC C may use wind solutions.
5. See Maximum Column Reactions Tension in allowable load tables for
tension reactions, or see allowable load tables footnote 5 to calculate
tension reactions. Allowable tension is minimum of anchorage capacity and
frame uplift capacity.
6. Anchorage assembly strength shall be determined from the table below.
Requirements are based on maximum shear and tension reactions, and
include shear-tension interaction. Wind solutions also include 4,000 lbs.
of additional uplift. Std.=Standard strength anchorage assembly
(OMFSL_-__-KT or OMFAB_-__-KT). HS=high strength anchorage
assembly (OMFSL_-__HS-KT or OMFAB_-__HS-KT).

Base Plate Plans
Seismic includes designs in all Seismic Design Categories and designs using R 3.0 or R = 3.5.
Shear lug is included with OMFSL anchorage assembly.
End distance is measured from centerline of nearest anchor bolt to edge of concrete.
First load value listed for each column corresponds to pre-installed wood nailer ush with end of concrete (see base plate plans).
Designer may linearly interpolate for end distances between those listed.
LRFD capacities may be obtained by multiplying tabulated values by 1.6 for wind or by dividing tabulated values by 0.7 for seismic.
Solutions are based on standard strength OMFSL_-__-KT anchorage assembly, except values, where high strength OMFSL_-__HS-KT anchorage assembly is required (see footnote 12).
Standard strength OMFSL used in place of high stength OMFSL have an allowable shear of 5,110 lbs. for wind and 5,725 lbs. for seismic for C6 columns, and 10,225 lbs. for wind and
11,450 lbs. for seismic for all other column sizes.

1. Anchorage solutions applicable to wind design and seismic design in Seismic Design Category A, B, or C using R 3.0. For
designs based on R = 3.5, see Table 3.2.
2. Solutions are based on embedment in concrete with minimum f'c = 2,500 psi.
3. Solutions are base on standard strength OMFAB_-__-KT anchorage assembly, except shaded values, where high strength
OMFAB_-__HS-KT anchorage assembly is required.
4. OMFAB tied anchorage solutions require Strong Frame column to be located in from the edge of slab (see page 43). For
solutions with column at edge of slab, use OMFSL (see page 40).
5. Ties, hairpins and vertical reinforcing shall be ASTM A615 or A706, Grade 60 reinforcing, and are not supplied by Simpson
Strong-Tie. Tie and hairpin installation is shown in page 43.
6. Stemwall/Curb tied anchorage solutions may also be used for slab on grade installations.
7. Anchorage solutions are based on maximum shear and tension reactions resulting from the tabulated allowable shear load
applied to the frame in combination with the gravity loads noted. For frames with an applied shear less than the allowable load
or with additional uplift, see Table 3.2.

Seismic includes designs in all Seismic Design Categories and designs using R 3.0 or R = 3.5.
Solutions are based on embedment in concrete with minimum f'c = 2,500 psi.
OMFAB tied and hairpin anchorage solutions require Strong Frame column to be located in from the edge of slab. For solutions with column at edge of slab, use OMFSL (see page 40).
Ties, hairpins and vertical shall be ASTM A615 or A706, Grade 60 reinforcing, and are not supplied by Simpson Strong-Tie. Tie and hairpin installation is shown on page 43.
Hairpins must be spaced at 2" o.c. (see page 43).
Stemwall/curb tied anchorage solutions may also be used for slab on grade installations.
To select anchorage solution, use shear reactions from Maximum Column Reactions in allowable load tables, or column shear reactions calculated in accordance with allowable load
tables, footnote 4.
8. LRFD capacities may be obtained by multiplying tabulated values by 1.6 for wind or by dividing tabulated values by 0.7 for seismic.
9. Solutions are base on standard strength OMFAB_-__-KT anchorage assembly, except shaded values, where high strength OMFAB_-__HS-KT anchorage assembly is required.
10. See page 39 for additional anchor strength requirements. Use high strength OMFAB_-__HS-KT anchorage assemblies where required by either tension or shear anchorage.

Select Frame
Step 1: Check if Ordinary Moment Frame is Permitted
Step 2: Check R Value
Seismic loads calculated using R = 3 Loads do not need to be
converted, OK9
Step 3: Select Nominal Height and Width
Nominal frame height: 8 ft.
Nominal frame width: 16 ft.
Step 4: Check Vertical Loading
WDL = 20 psf x 30'/2 + 15 psf x 20'/2 + 12 psf x 8' =
546 plf < 800 plf, OK9
WRLL= 20 psf x 30'/2 = 300 plf < 400 plf, OK9
WFLL= 40 psf x 20'/2 = 400 plf = 400 plf, OK9
Vertical loads are less than frame design uniform load.
Therefore, use Maximum Shear values.
Step 5: Select Strong Frame Ordinary Moment Frame Model
Using allowable load table for 8 ft. nominal height frames on
pages 22 to 23, select 16 ft. wide frame with a Maximum Shear
greater than applied shear:
For OMF912-16x8: Allowable ASD shear =
11,045 lbs > 8,000 lbs, Shear OK9
Step 6: Check Wmax
Check of Wmax not required when frame is selected using

SUMMARY
Strong Frame Model:
Notes:
1. Design of anchorage using the Simplied design method
as shown is simplest. Design using Detailed design method
with calculated reactions based on applied lateral and vertical
loading may result in more economical anchorage designs
(see Example #2).
2. Footing size shown is based on anchorage design only. Actual
footing/grade beam size and reinforcing must be determined
by Designer based on project specic geometry and allowable
soil bearing pressures.
3. Overturning load on steel beam from shear wall above is
not shown for simplicity; Designer must include overturning
forces in steel beam check as required.
4. Wind roof uplift load on Strong Frame ordinary moment
frame not shown. Designer must include roof wind uplift
forces on frame check as required.
5. Out of plane load on Strong Frame ordinary moment frame
not shown. Designer must include out of plane wind forces on
frame check as required. See detail 14/SF3 page 65 for more
information.
