Column Tolerances
Column Tolerances
(OP)
I know AISC 303-10 in the steel manual sets certain tolerances for plumbness of columns, but I was curious, is there anywhere in the AISC code or other guidelines that give requirements for the rotation of a column off of the orthogonal direction that it was designed for?

I didn't know if there was some limit we could point to that was some kind of industry standard for steel erectors.

The solutions center had an article about it a long time ago (found it here: https://www.aisc.org/bookstore/itemRedirector.aspx...)

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
