Detailed test procedures are presented for a research program on cast-in-place inserts embedded in reinforced concrete. Three types of inserts, two of malleable iron and one of ductile steel, capable of receiving a 3/4 inch threaded rod were tested. It was found that the pull-out load for an insert could be approximated by a linear function of the concrete unit weight and square root of the compressive strength in a statically loaded reinforced concrete slab. Design recommendations are presented.
