Expansion anchor + epoxy anchor 4

[slickdeals]

Folks,
Is there any restriction anywhere in the code that prevents the use of an expansion anchor in conjuction with a epoxy anchor?

Can a load of 50 kips be carried say 20K by expansion anchor and 30K by epoxy anchor?

Any reference to portions of literature or code is appreciated.

Thanks

StructuralEIT,
Yes, that is indeed the case. It is only there to take wind loads from the curtain wall.
And yes, I am not putting an expansion anchor into the tension zone.

Thanks for your comments.

Slickdeals,
Also, bear in mind that expansion and undercut anchors are the best in tension zone. Check manufacturers approval details.
