Engineers and designers who are considering switching to EM-BOLT boltable embed plates from standard field welded embeds are often concerned that their standard embed plate design practices won’t hold. In reality, embed plate design for EM-BOLT boltable embed plates is no different than designing for standard field welded embed plates. The same calculations and software are used to validate the embed plate design.
The videos below walk you through the features and benefits of patented the EM-BOLT boltable steel embed plate and demonstrate how easy it is to use.

In the engineering world, new technologies are constantly being developed. An example of a new design for concrete embed plates is the patented EM-BOLT Boltable Concrete Embed Plate (PATENT No.: US 9,359,756,B2). The EM-BOLT BEP-2 two-row boltable concrete embed plate model was tested at the Advanced Structures and Composites Center at the University of Maine, Orono Maine, in 2016 to determine the governing failure mode and maximum load.
Energy costs continue to be a factor in building design and construction with increasing pressure from consumers and building owners on architects and engineers to deliver more comfortable, energy efficient spaces. The construction industry is innovating to deliver what the market wants, in ways that the market can sustain from a cost standpoint.. Architects and structural engineers look to thermal breaks to improve building envelope thermal performance. The challenge as structural engineers is to incorporate the concept of thermal breaks while maintaining the structural design requirements of the building codes.
