Using These Tables

For Design

  • • Use tabulated values (It) for calculations
  • • Apply correction factors: Iz = It × Ca × Cg × Ci
  • • Use Max Zs values from design tables

For Testing

  • • Apply 80% rule to Max Zs when testing
  • • Compare measured values against limits
  • • Document table refs on test certificates
