(OP)
Does anyone have advice on the design of deadman concrete pads for the restraint of temporary bracing of precast wall panels? As I see it the worst case for bracing on one side only is combined lateral and uplift forces on the pad.

Hope this helps. I've used these a lot in the past.

The information referenced indicates that provided the concrete weight of the deadman is greater than the brace tension force, the deadman is adequate. Is this a common approach?
