R403.1.6 stipulates the requirement for foundation anchors in the IRC, 1/2" diameter with 7" embedment. Are these anchors allowed to be post installed? I know the code also mentions other approved anchors but I can't seem to find many companies who claim to have them.
I am not trying to get into the past debate on the inadequacies of the prescriptive requirements at certain instances since this is a straight forward design. These foundation anchors are for a two story garage, V = 110 mph exposure category B, so nothing too crazy. The anchorage is into grouted CMU that is 2' above grade and there is no basement.
