Headed Stud Mislocated
Headed Stud Mislocated
(OP)
Folks,
I have a situation where a contractor mislocated a cast-in embed plate with 1/2" dia studs x 4" long on a grade beam. This embed transfers wind shears at the foundation.
The contractor wants to drill a hole 1/16" larger than the stud head (1/2" bigger than the shank), fill it with epoxy and hammer the plate in at the correct location. I am concerned whether this detail even works because of exceeding epoxy adhesive specifications for hole diameters.
A crazy option I was thinking is if you cut off the heads of the stud, creating a smooth dowel. And then insert the plate as a post-installed plate, into pre-drilled holes filled with epoxy.
I have never used smooth dowels for epoxied rods, but was curious if others have any ideas/opinions.

Some adhesives allow oversized holes, with proper anchors.
Look at the proposed ACI 318-11 Appendix D for adhesive anchor design.

Post-installed connections will stick up and have a nut. This would somehow interfere with the precast panel.

How far from the correct location is it?
