Embedded Cans with Chemical Anchors
Embedded Cans with Chemical Anchors
(OP)
My company received a work scope from a client specifying the use of "embedded cans with chemical anchors installed inside the cans." The spec also explicitly states that "embedded anchors are not to be used." Does anyone know what this is? Or can anyone guide me in the right direction?

I would suggest you use threaded inserts instead.

We used to use a styrofoam or wood plug attached to the form to make a hole to epoxy a bolt in later.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

Then the equipment is attached to the anchor bolts using leveling nuts. The voids allow some lateral movement of the anchor bolts to facilitate the proper location to match the holes in the equipment base.
Once the equipment is installed and leveled, nonshrink grout will be packed in the voids and under the equipment base plate.
I am not certain how this would work with chemical anchors or if this is even the same type of job.

This is never ised for chemical anchors only for cast in place. In fact if you use chemical anchors doesnt this negate the need for tolerance.
I would suggest you look up the AISC presentation on steel fixes they have a really goood section on anchor bolts and come up with some really good suggestions.
