RE: Post-pour(ed) vs post-installed epoxy anchors
It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

Exact description should depend on the purpose of the drawing. If this is a critical point for a critical installation a more exact description or a full description should be used.
You might avoid the problems by describing 'boring (in concrete) for anchor bolts epoxy sexured' or (if allowed) 'anchor bolts type (fabrication name) or equal' with additional text 'refer to dimensional table'.

I agree with you about pour/place, but the language is evolving. We can't stop it, but just try to hold back the tide. When a concreter says he has a pour on tomorrow, I let it go. But if he tells me that he is going to pour a 'cement' slab, he has to be corrected.

Hokie66 - what about a "cement pond"?

The "post installed" thing is obviously industry specific, and for us structurals, it means drilled and anchored into hardened concrete.
No, "cement pond" is not appropriate usage. Cement is powder. Concrete is made from cement, aggregate, and water.

Actually, the only way an expansion or adhesive anchor can be installed is post-placement, so the terminology is redundant; however, post-installed is the common usage.....with the "post" refering to the concrete placement.

Sorry, I missed your reference the first time. But that makes it clear.
