Beam connection to precast wall
Beam connection to precast wall
(OP)
For a steel beam/precast wall connection, the fabricator is calling out a double angle with slotted holes in the angle. Is this a common thing, or should the slotted holes be in the beam?
Thanks

I had a similar situation once where they wanted to use slotted holes, I actually made them weld the washers on so that the snug tight bolts still took axial load into the beam.
If there is no direct transfer of load between the two then this is not an issue.

I usually will put in slotted holes for erection and field adjustment and then field weld them once in final position.

hokie66 suggested a very smart connection of a beam to a tilt up panel in a previous post. There are no slots in this connection and its very neat.
