Embed Palates ACI 02 (Appendix D)
Embed Palates ACI 02 (Appendix D)
(OP)
Has anyone had trouble creating feasible embed plate designs based on the new ACI-02 Appendix D? We do alot of concrete tilt-up design and are having extreme problems making our tradiional embed plates, (joist beam supports), work with reasonable answers.
Has anyone found resonable solutions based on this new design procedure?

My solutions have been to use headed studs instead of hooked anchors for tension. Based on some calcs I've done it may take less than a foot of embed for the hook strength to control over concrete break out, meaning all that extra embedment doesn't help.
Some engineers use shear connectors such as welded channels instead of studs for shear capacity.
