    Column base plate with large moment load

    I played around with Hilti for awhile and finally got one configuration to work, but the bolts ended up having to be so close to the midline that I'm a bit leery of the possibility of getting enough tension capacity with reinforcement. I'll try to come up with some numbers for this though, will...

    Column base plate with large moment load

    Also, Jed: That WAS a stupid question. Should have thought about what you meant a little further. I think the wall should be capable of carrying that moment though, as I'll be adding two lengths of vertical rebar in addition to the 12 O.C. that is already there--so the area under each 16" plate...

    Column base plate with large moment load

    Thanks for the replies. JAE: I'm planning on casting the anchor bolts into the top of the wall before the concrete sets using a pre-made template--and then torquing down a nut onto the bolt. How did you find the 40 kips uplift? I got something closer to 25 kips per bolt after extending the...

    Column base plate with large moment load

    I'm affixing steel columns to an 8inch concrete wall to support a roof structure. The columns will see a rather large moment compared to the compression load because of the span that is involved--about 350 kip inches in moment compared to 13.5 kips axial (compressive) load. I've selected W6*25...
