Abstract
A flange connector for use in joining adjacent concrete structural members, such as precast concrete double tee structural members. The flange connector includes a central faceplate having a weldable surface and a pair of arms that extend divergently from the central faceplate that are embedded or cast into the concrete structural member. Flanges may be formed on the faceplate and the pair of legs to define C-shaped channels that taper toward the distal ends of the legs. Notches are provided at the junctures of the legs with the opposite sides of the faceplate to reduce the stiffness of the flange connector. A threaded aperture extends through the faceplate for securing the flange connector to a conventional form used to cast the concrete structural member. Each of the legs includes an elongated slot to receive and engage the reinforcing mesh embedded in the concrete structural member to aid in aligning the flange connector with the reinforcing mesh and in transferring forces applied to the flange connector to the reinforcing mesh.
