hi everyone,
contact area for base plate to completely transfer compressive loads may be achieved by adding shims during erection and grout after installation is done.
Our PEB columns are welded with base plates which have undergone bending due to any reason, won't it make to alignment issue or introduce permanent stresses in structure.
Hi Umer,
Thank You for replying.
We cannot grout until main framing erection has been completed and building plumb is checked.
During inspection, some plates were found bend as shown in photo attached.
Building Clear height is 45'
Clear Span is 125'
Length is 455'
kindly advise the solution
Regards
We have a case of PEB structure, during erection, post welded base plate resting on centrally placed anchor bolts (embedded in concrete), found bending from edges.
What could be the possible reason.
