Shear capacity of cast in plate with rebar

[Cos0Sin90]

Hi,

I have a steel member connecting to a RC column. I avoid using anchors or shear studs due to edge distance issue. Instead, I have this cast-in plate with rebars that weld to it.

I am wondering if anyone can guide me on how to check the shear capacity in this case. I have gone through some PCI examples, but it seems like they don't really talk about this scenario. Most of the examples are related to shear studs.

The horizontal shear in my first sketch comes from the torsion, otherwise you will just get vertical shear.

The force F in your first sketch is applied eccentrically to the column. The eccentricity is A/2 where A is the longer dimension of the column cross section. Force F causes a torsion of F*A/2 in the column. If it is applied between the ends of the column, it also causes a bending moment in the column.

Assuming a similar applied force in your second sketch, A represents the shorter dimension of the column cross section.
