Minimum Embedment for Anchor in Concrete?
Minimum Embedment for Anchor in Concrete?
(OP)
I have a connection where I would like to install an anchor(s) in the top of a concrete slab. The anchor(s) will need to take a shear load but no tension force. The issue I'm running into is the slab has a total thickness of 3" and is supported by 9/16" non-composite metal decking. Additionally the bottom of the slab is not accessible for any kind of a thru-bolt connection.
Are there any mechanical or adhesive anchors that can be installed in a slab that thin?
Would the use of a masonry anchor be acceptable? (i.e. Hilti HY20 with a screen)

I would check the Hilti Profus program that is compliant with Appendix D using your loads and see what pops out.
