Steel Column Base Plate
Steel Column Base Plate
(OP)
I'm specifying a steel column & baseplate to bear on a thickened slab. Loads are light ~5k or so.
Am I correct in that 4 bolts are required to anchor the baseplate? (Column supports gravity & uplift). Contractor doesn't want to put a large plate + 4 bolts. I feel certain I've read 4 bolts are required before but cannot locate it in the steel manual. Thanks.

Either it was a bad design or OSHA doesnt have that requirement at the time.
