Embed Stud Plate
Embed Stud Plate
(OP)
Hello all,
I'm reviewing an embed plate/shear tab connection that is commonly used for tilt-up buildings. I have a pretty big beam bolted to a WT, welded to a 3/4" x 27" x 3'-4" embed with (16) nelson studs. See the detail attached.
I'm looking more at the embed itself. It's calculated and detailed so that concrete failure is not an issue. So now I'm looking at the steel. I want to know if there's a way to reduce the size of the plate. Perhaps I could weld an angle through the back to help engage the concrete? Flat plate headed studs? Not sure.
Thoughts?
