Steel beam support embed and methods of use thereof

摘要

An apparatus and method is disclosed that allows for the efficient installation and connection of steel beams to a concrete foundation. A steel beam support embed according to the present disclosure can be readily set in place during the forming of the concrete foundation via detachable anchors, thus allowing the installer to avoid rebar or other foundation components that would otherwise need to be moved or adjusted for proper placement of the embed. A steel beam support embed as disclosed herein also, after its installation in the concrete foundation, provides for adjustable connection to a steel beam without the need for field welding.
