Meva MevaLite - Adjustable Shearwall Bracket

ML-48
MevaLite
Adjustable Shearwall Bracket
Adjustable shearwall brackets are
used to support formwork from
the vertical face of previously cast
concrete. The brackets are made
with Imperial profiles welded to
the top so that assembly locks can
be used to connect the formwork
to the brackets. With MevaLite
panels wood blocking is required
to make the connection between
the different profiles (Fig.48.1
and48.2).
The brackets are bolted to the
concrete using anchor bolts with
climbing cone inserts located at the
desired elevation. Climbing cones
with conical sleeves and anchor
plates are set in the previous lift
formwork with the positioning disk
M24 (nailed to the form face) or
a setting bolt (through the form
face). After the forms are stripped
the shearwall brackets are bolted to
the climbing cones. The formwork
may be set and connected to the
brackets once the concrete has
reached a minimum compressive
strength of 2200psi.
Brackets are designed for vertical
load only. Formwork must be
securely braced to prevent any
lateral force on the bracket.
The safe working load of the
shearwall bracket assembly is
3300lb., which is limited by the
anchor bolt shear combined with
bending due to the climbing
cone recess. Higher capacities
are possible with other anchor
configurations. The ultimate
capacity of the bracket itself is
36,500lb.
If post-installed anchors are to be
used, they must be 1" diameter
and designed to resist the intended
loads. The anchor length must
account for the required concrete
embedment plus the bracket and
washer thickness. Fig. 48.2 Elevation view
