Embed Plates with DBA
Embed Plates with DBA
(OP)
Folks,
Why is it that not a lot of people use embed plates with DBA (deformed bar anchors) and get away from using Appendix D, and use embed plates with headed studs.
I would appreciate your inputs.

However, for whatever reason, the poster has an afterset condition to deal with here which is a totally different animal.

I still have a trick I want to run by a plan checker, embed a HSA 26". Appex. D applies to embed's less than 25" kicking you out of Appex D. Then I can use old code equations to justify allowable values. lol

I only use these as an example and would suggest you do your own enquires as to suitability.
When in doubt, just take the next small step.

We used to use this type of thing all the time for precast industrial buildings in melbourne. The original company that made these did testing on them to verify the calculations.
Two things you need to consider. Firstly, the mesh needs to be cut to fit the rebar 'handles'. Secondly, you should thread a few bars through the 'handles' on the opposite side of the mesh to anchor it in.
We also had our own engineer do some calculations to verify it.
