Shelf angle Precast Wall
Shelf angle Precast Wall
(OP)
I have a new precast wall that a hollowcore roof plank needs to be connected to. There was a coordination issue and the contractor missed areas that needed an embedded angle to the precast. See attached section we are proposing using the same size angle that is everywhere else with an expansion anchor @ 18" O.C.. I am not sure on how to check the angle along with the anchor. I know the anchor will be subjected to combined loading (shear & tension). I just need a design example in which I follow. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

For checking the angle, I would take your loads multiply by the trib width and check the angle for bending.

After that, just find your tension and shear, design the anchor. I think the HILTI manual has a design example.
@Msquared, where would you put your dowels? I dont see how that would help.
