Steel angle connection to Concrete wall & Column 1

[ak.t]

Dear All,

This is regarding the concrete column to concrete wall panel connections that to be established by L-angle as shown in Fig. below. For the same structure that're discussed in other thread Link require this connection. Both column and wall panel are precast members. I would require to check whether this connection shown in this attached Fig. is adequate or not.

Kindly lemme know how do I check this?

Thank you.

Well is really depends on the magnitude of applied loads and dimensions (height) of the column and wall (and wall length).

Is this simply a fence, or maybe a sound-barrier wall? We need some context/more information.

The through-bolt in the wall panel is awfully close to the panel edge.

Dear Ingenuity,

Yes. This is kinda fence. This is boundary wall (6.5m in length x 2.8m in height x 150mm thk) spans between column of 500mm SQ in size which is subjected to wind pressure of 1.06kN/m2. Kindly see the Fig. attached. Thank you.

See suggestion below.

- For outdoor connection, keep stress low, since it will suffer from cyclic weathering abuses.
- Provide slot holes on one edge of the panel to allow for small movement to relief shrinkage/expansion stress.
- Carefully select the metal connecting elements, or provide rust proof, for better appearance and ease of maintenance throughout service life.

Thank you robyengIT, It is mainly for Concrete to steel connection and found it useful too.

Dear retired13,
Thank you very much for the sketch and guidance in this regard as usual. But I dont know whether I understood your sketch or not. The sketch shows kinda roller support to allow movement.

I'm still confused about how to check the capacity of angle connection. Panel size is 6.75 in length x 2.75m in height with 150mm thickness spanned between the 4m high square column(500mm). Should i consider the shear from wind and the vertical element to design angle connection?

 

[r13]

The supports were drawn to show that you need two connectors between the post and the panel.

Yes, sizing the angle using concrete panel dead weight (shear). Then design the connections use wind and dead load combination.

Okay. Thank you retired13
