Plate Washers For Anchor Rods
Plate Washers For Anchor Rods
(OP)
AISC Table 14-2 allows grossly oversized holes in a column base plate, which requires a plate washer. I can't find anything that says the plate washer has to be developed by field welding it to the base plate. In my particular case that I am looking at, my columns are pinned base, and are embedded 10" into the slab blockout. The only base shear that can be developed is from a small moment applied at the top of the column due to unbalanced eccentric loads. This shear is relatively small. In this case, is it necessary to develop the plate washers?
