Post-installed anchors into brick
Post-installed anchors into brick
(OP)
I have a "simple" task: Design anchor bolts to mount a dozen 5' tall camera poles to a concrete coping on top of a brick wall. The project manager doesn't know if there are any drawings of the wall; of course, he didn't measure anything or take photos. Anyway, from Google Street View it looks like the coping is 4" thick; for now I'm assuming the wall is all brick, 3 wythes thick. According to Hilti Profis, I need 2.375" anchors in 2.75" deep holes in the coping. My gut feeling says the coping is just attached with mortar and nothing else, which makes me uneasy. What I would like to do is anchor the coping stone into the brick wall using either option in my sketch but, I can find anything on post-installed anchor design in brick for this situation. I was going to use Appendix D/Chapter 17, with a big grain of salt. Any thoughts?

Is there a back-side to the wall where you can anchor into the side of the wall and then extend up the side? That way you are attaching into more "meat" of the wall and not the cap blocks.

I forgot one thing: It's not a parapet; it's a free standing wall that looks about 10' tall.
