All encased, I chipped it off, this condition happens in about 12-15 locations in basement on about 20% of columns and whats funny is these encasement/Brackets are all orientation is different in relation to concrete columns. Steel column is most likely a 16-18" based on concrete encasement size.
Further away view, as you can see if these were bolts the size of bolts to column size/Base plates would be enormous.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bb18661e-318c-4ce8-baf8-883f313e1bbc&file=Column_plate-large_view.jpg
Yea they look like threads but what you are looking at is 2.5 inches across and appear to be big flat washers stacked on a hexagonal plate on bottom. Heavy corrosian so they look fused together. If it was a bolt it would be biggest anchor bolts i have ever seen.no logical reason for this and...
No nut or visable threads, another project calls for boxing in columns and finished walls, we were under impression these small concrete bumps were just concrete and could be knocked off but as you see its looks structural. We can frame around but driving me crazy nobody knows what the intent of...
Federal building, yes i will take picture further away, but these brackets appear at different orientations in relation to column bottoms. almost look like vibration isolators but no spring ( look like stacked washers)and encased in concrete.
Its a steel columns in 8 story building. These appear to be connected to steel column but only happen at about dozen locations. They are not anchor bolts it is a condition I have never seen. I dont have more info then photo at encased column base. I thought someone here could take a stab at it...
This condition only happens in certain concrete encased columns in buildings basement, ( Can someone identify what this is and what purpose it serves? has me lost might need an older Sruct guy to Identify.See attached...
