Heckman anchors @ steel beams

Heckman anchors @ steel beams

Heckman anchors @ steel beams

(OP)
When are these required (@steel beams supporting masonry)? What is the exact function of these anchors? Would they be required @ lintels in shears walls but not @ other lintels?

Or are they required only when there is a brick veneer involved?

I am confused, help please.

#315 wire rod anchor. welded to ea side of beam/lintel flange.

RE: Heckman anchors @ steel beams

Look at page 14 of the link I gave you.  The function of the anchors is to tie a masonry wall to a steel column.  Part #315 is welded top and bottom to the column in the fabrication shop or in the field.  Part #316 is inserted through the slot.  This allows vertical adjustment so that the mason can align Part #316 with the masonry course.

Thanks BA. it appears that at beams these anchors would be required at the exterior conditions.

RE: Heckman anchors @ steel beams

Does anyone actually use these anchors for structural purposes?  By the time you are done applying the appropriate FOS, they really don't have much strength.

RE: Heckman anchors @ steel beams

I agree that they are not very robust.
