FLANGE CONNECTOR

摘要

A flange connector for use in joining adjacent concrete structural members( 12), includes a central faceplate (24) having a weldable surface (26) and a pair of arms (28) that extend divergently from the central faceplate (24) that are embedded or cast into the concrete structural member (12). Flanges (38, 46) may be formed on the faceplate (24) and the pair of legs (28) to define C-shaped channels (40, 48) that taper toward the distal ends of the legs (28). A threaded aperture (30) extends through the faceplate (24) for securing the flange connector (10) to a conventional form (33) used to cast the concrete structural member (12). Each of the legs (28) includes an elongated slot (50) to receive and engage the reinforcing mesh (20) embedded in the concrete structural member (12).
