Mis-placed base plate
Mis-placed base plate
(OP)
When a base plate is set in the wrong spot, is there any concern about leaving the anchor rods in the concrete and setting adhesive/epoxy anchors next to them. Do the cut-off anchor rods affect the capacity of the new rods?






RE: Mis-placed base plate
Check the footing due to new eccentricity if the column location is shifted. Another concern, if the base plate and footing will be exposed to weather, make sure you treat the exposed portion of the AB with good rust inhibitor or may be tar or great so that rust does not bleed off on the concrete.

Good luck.

1. welded a plate extension on to pick up 2 cast-in-place anchors that fell outside the plate. Used a gusset to strengthen the new addition.
2. burned 2 new holes in the original plate to pick up the other 2 anchors.
3. drilled and sunk Hilti epoxy anchors into 2 of the existing holes to restore some concentricity to the connection.
I'd agree with blake989, if they're not loaded, it's just a piece of metal aggregate. There's a bond strength between the paste and the anchor. But I can sort of see how it might depend on HOW Close you're talking about, when setting the new next to the old.
