Mounting directly on steel reinforcement?

[Mathis Mincke]

I'm a student architecture and I have a question about different mounting options for a steel cable (truss).

The steel truss cable needs to be mounted on the head of a predal concrete panel in a parking garage. I have seen options like an ankorrail and mounting anchors but our professor told us the weight is too heavy for these sort of solutions.

I had the idea to mount/ weld/ attach a mounting point directly on the end of the reinforcement so that it just sticks out the head of the predal concrete panel.

I had serious doubts about this idea considering the stress the truss causes on the reinforcement. I was wondering if this could affect the strength of the predal floor and therefore affect its carrying capacity.

A sidenote: This Idea is not being constructed in any sort of way. We just neet to make our idea plausible when we present our parking garage.

Thanks in advance

Generally, welding of reinforcement is a bad idea.

In the real world, again generally, if you're putting large loads of known magnitude and location into a precast panel, you're going to use embeds in that panel to handle those loads.

I'm not sure what 'steel truss cable' is referring to.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Do you feel any better?
