Table 5:  Allowable Axial Loads (plf)^1,2,3,4,6

1. Permanent loads, such as dead load, shall not exceed 0.50 times the tabulated load.

2. All values are for normal duration and may not be increased for other durations.

3. Axial loads shall be applied concentrically to the top of the panel through repetitive members spaced not more than 24-inches on center. Such members shall be fastened to a rim board or similar member to distribute along the top of the SIP panel.

4. The ends of both facings must bear on the supporting foundation or structure to achieve the tabulated axial loads.

5. Tabulated values are based on the strong-axis of the facing material oriented parallel to the span direction.  WAB indicates weak-axis bending of the facing material (i.e. the facing material weak-axis is parallel to the span direction).
