msquared48-
I hope I did not come off as sounding rude or anything - I was just commenting that you had discussed this similar topic two years ago and was glad that you came by to respond to this thread as well.

Wouldn't that type of connection now be limited by concrete shear failure...
msquared48 - I saw you answered to this similar question http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=302761 two years ago. I had hoped that some new advances had been made in this area.
And to add to the unease of both of us, this load is also reversible up to 35kips upward. Probably the best...
Does anyone have any tips/comments/advice for connection of steel beams to existing concrete columns with high loads?
Ex. - W36 beam with endplate to 26"x26" reinforced concrete column.
At first, I decided that I could just use a double clip angle with an endplate using post-installed expansion...
