Cantilered Column Embedment Into Masonry Pier
Cantilered Column Embedment Into Masonry Pier
(OP)
I'm designing a monument sign which has a steel column on each side which is embeded into a masonry pier at grade. The columns obviously cantiliver. How far do I need to embed my steel column into my masonry pier? The masonry pier sits on a footing 3'-4" below the surface. I believe the masonry pier will be 24"x24" with reinforcing and the steel column will be around a HSS8x8. Thanks for the help.

This is both for strength and for health and safety of workers below ground level.

However, if masonry is desired instead of the RC, I would have to agree with jike on the masonry.
