I am going to install a cement test pad for equipment which will have access troughs formed in. I will be using 1-1/4" carbon steel angle iron to use as an edge and am looking for the proper way or item that can be used to anchor the corner angle into the cement when it is poured, such as a "J" bolt or "L" bolt. Are there specific types that are preferred and what would be an average spacing between these anchors. Thanks

 
Headed studs are typically welded to the inside of the angle and are embedded in the concrete. They need to be welded to the angle however. They are not a bolt-on thing. If you want to use hooked bolts you can. The spacing will be determined by the load on the angle itself. If there is no load on it at all I would space them maybe 2 or 3 feet apart.
 
Use concrete instead of cement.
