PRE-ENGINEERED FOUNDATION DETAILS

PRE-ENGINEERED FOUNDATION DETAILS

PRE-ENGINEERED FOUNDATION DETAILS

(OP)
ARE PRE-ENGINEERED COLUMNS BOLTED DIRECTLY TO THE SLAB OR IS THE BASEPLATE ACTUALLY 2" ABOVE THE SLAB WITH NONSHRINK GROUT INSTALLED (SO THAT A COLUMN LEVELING NUT CAN BE ADDED, SIMILAR TO CONVENTIONAL STEEL)

ANY GOOD REFERENCE MATERIAL SHOWING TYPICAL DETAILS OF THE FOUNDATION CONNECTIONS.

RE: PRE-ENGINEERED FOUNDATION DETAILS

Generally they are bolted directly to the slab, since the elevation of a properly constructed slab is held to a tolerance which does not require the grout bed.  

RE: PRE-ENGINEERED FOUNDATION DETAILS

The office that I work in specifies the columns are below the slab with 2" minimum between the bottom of the plate and the top of the foundation.  You can specify the building any way that you prefer.
