Anchor Edge Distance New Concrete against Existing
Anchor Edge Distance New Concrete against Existing
(OP)
Can new concrete be poured against existing concrete and bonded in such a way that post installed anchors into the existing concrete can consider the new concrete when determining required edge distances? I’m concerned that if it is not a homogeneous pour (new against existing) that I cannot consider the new concrete to add to the edge distance for the anchor.

I was concerned that the cone would essentially stop at the joint between the new and the old. Are there ways to overcome this?
I'm looking at an existing pier for a column that was extended to allow for a new column to be attached. The extension just so happens to not be as big as I needed it to be due to the size and location of the new column. The column is offset a couple of inches and it gives me very little room to install fasteners. I was toying with the idea of demolishing half of the pier and installing a new one for the new column, or somehow building out the existing pier to be what I need it to be. I would prefer the latter as it seems like a better option to try to avoid demoing something that is still being used (half of it), but don't know how to overcome the new concrete joint.

I admit to ignorance of Simpson's products. They have only recently started marketing in Australia, probably because it is a relatively small market. I did note that Simpson and Bosch Power Tools have formed an alliance, so that may help in speeding up the visibility and acceptance of Simpson here.
