Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
The Commission hereby adopts the following soil classifications
						for the purpose of determining design loads, specifications and holding power
						of anchors and tiedown devices.
See Table at
						http://www.alabamaadministrativecode.state.al.us/docs/mfch/McWord13MFCH.pdf
(1) The test probe is a device for measuring
					the torque of soils to assist in evaluating the holding capability of the soils
					in which the anchor is placed. The test probe has a helix on it. The overall
					length of the helical section is 10.75 in.; the major diameter is 1.25 in.; the
					minor diameter is 0.81 in.; the pitch is 1.75 in. The shaft must be of suitable
					length for anchor depth.
(2) A
					measure synonymous with moment of a force when distributed around the shaft of
					the test probe.
(3) Below these
					values a registered professional engineer should be consulted.
(4) A C4 or C5 anchors that has been approved
					by the Commission must be used unless the soil is tested with a soil test probe
					or another Commission approved method.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) No anchors shall be used for anchoring a
					manufactured home or building to the ground unless the anchor has been tested
					by a third party testing agency to the required holding power of the anchors.
					All anchors tested must then have the approval of the Commission. All ground
					anchors must be installed in the soil classification in which the anchor has
					been approved. It is the responsibility of the installer to ascertain the soil
					class and to make sure the anchor is installed in the correct soil. All shear
					wall locations must have an anchor and support pier installed. Manufactured
					required longitudinal ties must be installed.
(2) All manufactured homes and buildings
					shall have anchors spaced as evenly as practical with the piers.
(3) The required number of anchors per each
					side of each manufactured home and building are shown below:
WIND ZONE II HURRICANE ZONE
*Length of Mobile Home (ft)

No. of Diagonal Ties

*Length of mobile home (as used in this table) means length
						excluding draw bar.
**The federal manufactured home construction and safety
						standards require all manufactured homes designed to be located in wind zones
						II and III to have a vertical tie installed at each diagonal tie
						location.
***If pier height is over 24", an additional diagonal tie must
						be added for every additional 12" or a portion thereof.
****Manufactured homes that do not have a HUD label must have
						three (3) vertical ties per side in zone 1.
(4) Manufactured homes (with HUD labels) and
					manufactured buildings are not required to have vertical ties in wind zone
					1.
(5) All multi section homes
					shall be lagged and sealed together in accordance with the home manufacturer's
					instructions.
(6) A zone 1 home
					cannot be installed in zone 2.
(7)
					An optional anchoring system that has been approved by the Commission in
					accordance with
					535-X-13-.09 may be used if its use does not conflict with
					535-X-13-.06(11).
(8) These minimum anchoring standards are
					based on the premise that all manufacturers doing business in Alabama have
					built their homes in compliance with the federal manufactured home construction
					and safety standards.
