Step 4 : Specification Provide post-installed bars at size , spacing and embedment as indicated on construction documents ( Figure 16 ).
Dowels : ASTM A706 Grade 60
Anchoring system : Hilti HIT-RE 500 V3 epoxy , install as per Manufacturer`s Printed Installation Instructions ( MPII ), permissible concrete temp . range for installation : 55˚F - 90˚F , concrete shall be dry during dowel installation .
Drill holes using a rotary-hammer drill with carbide bit . Locate existing reinforcing prior to drilling — do not damage ( E ) reinforcing without prior authorization of the EOR .
Step 2 : Determine the development length for the column bars . Note that the confinement term can be taken as the maximum value of 2.5 given the edge distance and confinement condition .

2.6.4 DESIGN EXAMPLE — DEVELOPMENT LENGTH FOR COLUMN STRUCTURAL JOINT
Requirement : Provide post-installed structural joint for a new column on an existing foundation .
( N ) 4 - # 7 dowels embedded in drilled holes with Hilti HIT-RE 500 V3
( N ) column
roughened surface , 1 / 4 in . amplitude
Step 1 : Establish requirements for the new bars . Existing construction : Foundation grade beam 24 x 36-in ., 4 ksi concrete , A615 Gr . 60 reinforcing
New construction : ( N ) 18 x 18-inch column as shown , 4 ksi normal weight concrete , ASTM A615 Gr . 60 reinforcement , 4 - # 7 column bars
25 in .
( E ) foundation reinforcing
( E ) Grade beam
The column resists moment and shear arising from wind loading .
