In short, I have a new column supporting a new roof, and the column is resting on an existing 12" fully grouted CMU wall. The estimated uplift load due to wind onto this column is 10k. Therefore, I need to anchor the baseplate of the post to the CMU wall, to resist this load.
I can't seem to find an anchor system (mechanical bolts, epoxy) with acceptable spacing and edge requirements that would allow this to work. Am I missing something?
Also, I have a similar situation with about 5k uplift into a new CMU wall, so I can use embedded anchors, but again, and not sure how to figure out size and spacing requirements.
