Double sided anchor connections to concrete beam

[StrEng007]

Does anyone have experience with post installed concrete anchors to each side of a beam?

I'm most interested in the shear reduction due to the abutting ends of the anchors, assuming they have some solid concrete between them.

Certainly as a lower bound you could use the member thickness provisions introduced in ACI 318-19, and take half of the beam width as your "thickness"

Similar to Lo, in the past, I believe that I have basically limited the design of the post installed anchor to an embedment depth (and corresponding minimum concrete thickness) per the published manufacturer's technical information, such that the minimum concrete thickness is less than half the beam width. Essentially, the anchors on each side are in concrete with a thickness of half the beam width.

Or, here in the US, I have had good luck with the technical group at Hilti.

Thanks everyone.

I ended up being able to use Simpson's Anchor Designer Software, setting the concrete thickness to half the beam width, and selecting an anchor that was able to satisfy my load demand.

I didn't have as many available solutions with Hilti's Profis.
