anchors in concrete block

what is the formula to place anchors in concrete block for building a garage or home addition? How far from the edges, how much distance between each. Also how to make sure they don't interfere with the studs when the wall is build. Thanks, Paul

Depends on what you are trying to attach. Mudsill? Ledger? What grade is the block?

In general epoxy resin bolts with resin screens work best in hollow block, but one would need a lot more information to make a full recommendation.

It may vary in your area but here its every 48" (or less). Dont put them right in the corner ( 10" out should be Ok) How far from the edge depends on what bottom plate you re using 2X4 or

2X6 and the placement of that plate, depending on how you plan to finish the walls..OSB/foam/stucco/siding

You should shoot your framing lines before filling cells/applying anchors so you know where your doors etc are going to be. Your plan(s) may call out for Simpson ties or other hardware adjacent to the uprights that might need to be bolted down to the bottom plate/foundation.

I "missed" one and had to get an engineer to sign off on a replacement epoxy Simpson anchor/bolt and got a bill for $ 165.00
