Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to connectors and, more particularly, to a connection device for joining adjacent concrete structural members, such as precast concrete double tee structural members.
- Precast concrete structural members are widely used throughout the building industry to form decks, such as roofs or floors, in large concrete structures, such as parking garages and other building structures.
- the precast members are manufactured in a facility and then shipped to the job site and erected to form the desired roof or floor structure.
- the precast members are typically constructed as single or double tee concrete structures having a slab or load bearing surface and including two flanged edges and a single or two joists.
- a deck such as a roof or floor
- the precast tee members are laid side-by-side one another so that the flanged edges of members are abutting. These members may move relative to one another due to wind forces, thermal expansion and other applied loads.
- Opposing flange connectors are welded together with a connection lug or rod to provide the necessary connection between adjacent tee members to form the desired structure.
- Flange connectors are subjected to a variety of forces acting on the welded connection formed between opposing connectors.
- Lateral wind and earthquake loads applied to the building structure may impart horizontal shear forces in the plane of the floor as well as tension forces that have a tendency to pull adjacent structural members apart.
- Horizontal shear forces may also result from a volume change in the tee members, particularly due to temperature changes, as well as shrinkage and creep effects.
- Vertical shear forces may be imparted on the welded connection in response to loads acting on the load bearing surfaces of the tee members, temperature variations and other factors as well.
- typical flange connectors are formed of one-piece metal members comprising a central faceplate having a planar weldable surface and a pair of arms extending divergently from the central faceplate that are embedded or cast into the concrete flanges of the tee.
- the flange connectors are cast into the flanged edges of the tee concrete structure typically at four to five foot centers, although the spacing may varying depending on the size of the tee member and the amount of expected loading of the structure.
- the flanged connectors are cast in the concrete structure to permit two opposing connectors to be welded to a connection lug or rod positioned between the two opposing flange connectors, thereby forming a unitary floor or roof structure.
- flange connectors have been susceptible to structural failure or pullout in response to shear loads applied generally parallel to the load bearing surfaces.
- Vertical and horizontal shear forces applied to flange connectors of the past have also resulted in either structural failure of the connectors and/or cracking of the concrete near the interface of the flange connector with the concrete structural member which jeopardize the safety and integrity of the connection.
- the present invention overcomes the foregoing and other shortcomings and drawbacks of flange connectors for joining adjacent concrete structural members heretofore known. While the invention will be described in connection with certain embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to these embodiments. On the contrary, the invention includes all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- a flange connector having a faceplate and a pair of legs that extend divergently from opposite sides of the faceplate.
- the faceplate includes a generally planar face suitable for welding and a threaded aperture that extends generally centrally through the faceplate that is adapted to receive a threaded screw for securing the flange connector to a conventional form used to cast the concrete structural tee members.
- the faceplate has a pair of flanges that define a C-shaped channel rearwardly of the faceplate.
- Each of the legs of the flange connector may have a pair of flanges that define C-shaped channels rearwardly of the respective legs. Other orientations of the flanges and channels are possible as well.
- the C-shaped channels of the legs may taper from the junctures of the legs with the opposite sides of the faceplate to the distal ends of the legs.
- the flanges of the faceplate and legs provide strength and stiffness to the flange connector to prevent buckling or failure of the flange connector under certain load conditions.
- the flanges and channels of the faceplate and legs also distribute upward and downward vertical loads applied to the flange connector to resist vertical shear forces present at the point of connection of adjacent flange connectors.
- the strength and stiffness provided by the flanges and channels of the faceplate and legs may permit optimum material thickness to be used.
- the tapered channels of the legs resist pullout of the flange connector from the concrete structural tee members in response to shear and/or tension loads applied to the flange connector generally parallel to the load bearing surfaces of the tee members.
- each of the legs may include an elongated slot that extends partially along the length of the legs and communicates with the distal ends of the legs so that the slots are open at the distal ends of the legs.
- the slots are provided to engage the reinforcing mesh embedded in the structural tee members to aid in aligning the flange connector with the reinforcing mesh, and also to aid in transferring forces applied to the flange connector to the reinforcing mesh.
- the slots also provide a degree of flexibility in the legs to permit desired flexure in the legs in response to horizontal shear loads.
- the flanges of the legs are joined to the flanges of the faceplate at junctures which are generally aligned with the respective junctures of the legs with the opposite sides of the faceplate.
- Each of the junctures is formed with a notch to reduce the stiffness of the flange connector at the junctures of the legs with the faceplate to provide a degree of flexibility in the junctures to permit desired flexure of the legs relative to the faceplate in response to horizontal shear loads.

- the planar surfaces 26 of adjacent flange connectors 10 have a positive draft so that the planar surfaces 26 of the faceplate 24 diverge upwardly to define a generally V-shaped notch between the adjacent flange connectors 10 that receives the connector slug 58 as shown in FIG. 3A.
- the flange connectors 10 could be embedded or cast in place within the flanged edges 16 of the double tee members 12 with a greater degree of positive draft, or with a negative draft so that the planar surfaces 26 of the faceplate 24 diverge downwardly to define a generally V-shaped notch between the adjacent flange connectors 10 that receives the connector slug 58 .
- the flange connector 10 is mounted to the form 33 through a form mounting plate 60 so that the flange connector 10 is mounted with a positive draft.
- Mounting plate 60 has a generally planar face 62 that abuts an inner face 64 of the form 33 and an inclined face 66 that extends inwardly and upwardly and abuts the faceplate 24 of the flange connector 10 .
- the mounting plate 60 may be made of plastic, wood or other suitable material and includes a threaded aperture (not shown) extending generally centrally therethrough that is adapted to receive the threaded screw 31 for securing the mounting plate 60 to the form 33 .
- One or more registration pegs may extend inwardly from the inclined face 66 of the mounting plate 60 to register with the tooling or registration apertures 32 (FIGS. 1 and 2) formed in the faceplate 24 to stabilize the flange connector 10 on the form 33 during the casting process. It will be appreciated that the mounting plate 60 may be reoriented 180° on the form 33 to mount the flange connector 10 with a negative draft as described in detail above.
- each of the legs 28 includes an aperture 60 formed therethrough between the junctures of the legs 28 with the faceplate 24 and the respective distal ends of the legs 28 .
