Titan Post Anchors Load Test Results August 20th 2010

September 12th, 2010
SUBJECT: Point Load Test Results on 4×4, 6×6 and 4×4 with Post Brace Anchors with regards to
Intertek Test Reports 3195819TOR-003 & 3195819TOR-003b
 
 
 
 

Intertek Testing Services (Intertek) has conducted point load testing on a series of products for Titan Building
Products (Titan). The products tested include 4×4 post anchors, 4×4 post anchors with a post brace, and 6×6
post anchors. Testing was conducted on three (3) samples of each type and the average maximum load
achieved is reported below.
Testing was carried out on a simulated deck platform using joists spaced 16” on centre, a blocking piece and
deck boards. A calibrated load cell was used in determining the maximum load achieved and was placed in-line
between the post and a hydraulic ram used to apply the load. The posts were installed according to the

manufacturer’s instructions. The load was applied at 42” above the deck surface to one face of the post.

The 4×4 post anchors achieved an average maximum load at failure of 337 lbs. The mode of failure for these

post anchors was the lag screws pulling out from the bottom of the wooden post. The 6×6 post anchors

achieved an average maximum load at failure of 503 lbs. The mode of failure for these post anchors was the

pan head screws pulling out from the deck boards. The 4×4 post anchors with post braces attached achieved an

average maximum load at failure of 499 lbs. The mode of failure for these post anchors was that the pan head

screws that attach the post anchor brace to the wooden post pulled out.

The Titan Post Anchors can be purchased at www.myocstore.com
