My answer is probably a reflection on my limited tool skills but there it is.
If you go the Dynabolt or chemical anchor route, you must first drill out suitably spaced and sized holes. In my past efforts, and despite my best care to the detail of this step, my holes have tended to wander off, lose vertical alignment and blow out in size. No doubt others will find drilling surgically precise holes in concrete a breeze. I don't.
