Painted vs. Non-Painted Baseplates
Painted vs. Non-Painted Baseplates
(OP)
I am looking for some information about the affect of painting the bottom of a baseplate if you are counting on the contact between the steel and either grout or concrete for shear strenght. I am not going to be able to use any kind of shear key or welded washer to transfere the horzintal force. I beleive that the bottom of the baseplate must be unpainted to acheive a better bond but need some reference to support this position. Does anyone know a resource?

Also, the ACI 318 code itself, asking for longer splice and embedment for epoxy coated reabar ... even with mechanical protrusions.

I'm not sure what type of paint was spec'd but I'm familiar with boron carbide paint which absorbs neutron radiation. I'm not sure why this, or another nuclear paint, would be needed on the surface in contact with concrete.
