Cast-in-Place Steel Strap Anchors
Cast-in-Place Steel Strap Anchors
(OP)
Hello All,
I am looking for any information on the type of anchor shown in the attached image. The building was constructed in the 1960's and has concrete tilt-up panels. These anchors are used for pretty much all of the connections from steel members into the concrete (diaphragm to wall, panel-to-panel, slab to wall, etc.).
I hope there is some literature out there to help me understand these connections better.
Regards,
Peter

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

I will be adding new connections in these locations but am trying to see if I can assume some small percentage of force being taken by these connections. I won't be able to verify that the straps are hooked around the bars, so without testing data, I think I will have to exclude any capacity from this type of connection.
