Hand rail embedded in concrete with sleeve

[gazibu]

Does any one know where to find info / literature on designing an embedded railing post in concrete that has a sleeve? typically I have seen posts embedded 6 inch in concrete that has been core drilled with a grouted sleeve in the hole. Are there any guidelines as to minimum depth, or any design guidelines?
Thanks

I don't know of any code but check out page 3 of the link below. The procedure is similar to the PCI manual for steel embedments.

Thanks, this is certainly a good starting point.
