Abstract: A weldment that is embedded in a precast concrete building member that is used to join the concrete building member to other concrete building members. The weldment has a top plate, side plate, and outstanding top and bottom legs. The surface of the top plate and side plate are not embedded in the precast concrete building member. The legs are integrally formed with the top plate and side plate. The top plate and side plate present weldable surfaces to join by welding the precast concrete building member to another building member.

Abstract: A concrete weldment has a central plate with shear force reinforcing members at both ends of the central plate. There is a pair of outstanding arms extending out from each of the ends of the shear reinforcing members. The shear reinforcing members are twisted approximately 45° so that the outstanding arms are rotated substantially 45°. This rotation preserves the vertical and horizontal shear capacity of the weldment as well as to keep the slab reinforcement means well protected with proper concrete coverage. Each of the outstanding arms has a 90 degree bend at the ends for providing increased pull out tensile capacity of the weldment.

Abstract: A weldment that is embedded in a concrete slab-type structural member. There is a central plate having a planar, weldable surface and disposed along an outer edge of the concrete slab. A pair of divergingly extending arms extends from the weldable surface and is embedded in the concrete slab. One or both of the extending arms has an irregular upper edge to engage the surrounding concrete. The irregular edge may be a series of v-shaped notches or v-shaped raised portions or any combination forming a saw tooth configuration. A method of manufacturing the weldment in the concrete slab is accomplished by locating the weldment in a mold and fastening a cap around the central plate. The weldment and cap are attached to the mold. After the concrete is poured and hardens into the slab, the cap is removed exposing a clean weldable surface.
