Can we design a combination of face and top/bottom anchoring?

Can we design a combination of face and top/bottom anchoring?

I am wondering if we can design a combination of face and bottom anchoring resting on a L-shaped bracket?

Norman,

When it comes to designing anchor systems on multiple planes (ex. top, face, and/or bottom) of a concrete member, there are a few things that will need to be taken into consideration: edge distances, effective embedment, influence of concrete breakout cones, etc. For some additional help with this, feel free to reference a similar question for anchors in acute corners (https://ask.hilti.com/questions/edge-distance-for-adjacent-channel-anchors/arwsnk). Ultimately, it will be an engineering judgement to verify the design and acceptability of the anchor system, as this cannot currently be modeled in Hilti’s PROFIS Anchor Software.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan
