ACADuser Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 This house has 2 spots that need columns that sit on a 10" wide concrete wall, (formed & poured) The 6" square steel columns don't allow much room for the base flange bolts & still have 1.5" cover on the steel. Looking at recessed bolts for this, see attached. But was looking for any other ideas you might have. Not looking to go with wood as it is exposed to the weather. (Austin Texas) That is a somewhat open hallway & open stair area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 I did find this which is not a bad idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 I think the offset base plate may do the trick. We'll see what the engineer has to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAmichael240114 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Weld plates with cast-in RF bars cranked to suit, steel post welded to base plates, see attached item 3 and 4 Steel Post Fixing.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Oh that's a nice idea. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 One we have used here is to Drill the steel Post in both directions ( sized as needed ) , and insert pieces of rebar right through and weld them into the post, and crank as needed. Can be tied into Wall Rebar system too. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Similar to Michael's, both good alternatives. Keeps the hold down under the column. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
