Unique anchor provides simple
panel-to-foundation connection
without welding or bolting
The Slant Anchor* connects tilt-up or precast panels to
the foundation. The assembly includes the load-rated
Slant Anchor, Void Former, high-strength Ductile Bar
and pre-packaged Grout.
The Slant Anchor is integral to the panel design and
planning. The anchor is positioned and reinforced in
each panel during forming operations. The foam seals
the connection sleeve during concrete placement.
Once a completed tilt-up or precast panel is ready for
installation, the foam is removed. The opening for the
connection sleeve is now visible and accessible for
anchoring.
Each panel is positioned on the foundation and braced.
A hole is drilled into the foundation footing using the
connection sleeve as a guide. This puts the load path
near the center line of the panel.
The hole is then partially grouted, the Ductile Bar
inserted, and the remaining grout used to fill the sleeve.
This grouted connection anchors the panel without
welding or bolting.
Note: The installation meets ACI-318-14 16.2.4.3 (b).
tensile strength of 10,000 lbs for panel-to-foundation
connections. The Safe Working Load of the Slant
Anchor is 9,000 lbs for uplift, horizontal and shear
forces, base on a 3:1 safety factor.

Slant Anchor Installation Guidelines
1. Position and secure the Slant Anchor before casting panel.
2. Erect panel, brace and install bearing grout as required.
3. Locate and remove foam Void Former from connection face.
4. Drill 1” diameter hole into the foundation using the sleeve as a guide.
5. Remove dust from hole using compressed air, vacuum and/or bottle brush.
6. Mix Flowable Grout and pour into the connection cavity until half full.
7. Place Ductile Bar into sleeve and foundation immediately after grouting.
8. Add additional grout to cover the bar and fill the cavity.
9. Allow grout to cure before patching/finishing the panel face.

Calculations and Testing
Anchor Straps
Allowable Tension: 0.6 Fy Ag = (2 straps) (0.6) (36 ksi) (2”) (3/16”) = 16.2
Allowable Tension: 0.5 Fu Ae = (2 straps) (0.5) (58 ksi) (2”-1”) (3/16”) = 10.8 controlling factor
Anchor Rod
Allowable Tension: 0.6 Fy Ag = (0.6) (45 ksi) (0.39 in2) = 10.5K
Allowable Shear: 0.6 Fy Ag = (0.6) (45 ksi) (0.39 in2) = 10.5K
Pullout: 30k (.90) with 3:1 safety factor = 9K controlling factor
Pullout based on deformed bar in nonshrink grout (8,000 psi).
Concrete Breakout (shear cone analysis)
Shear load perpendicular to panel = 17K ultimate load (11.3K service load).
