ricardo100671 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 My engineer has stated the following on our drawing "COL TO BER ENCASED IN Min 100mm CONC SURROUND TO SLAB LEVEL, TO INCLUDE BOLTS & BASEPLATE." along with i am trying to understand what is meant by "100mm CONC SURROUND TO SLAB LEVEL" is it that the concrete should project 100mm from every edge of the beam like and in the case of an offset column like The reason for my confusion is that the drawing does not seem to illustrate such a mass around the column and foot , making me thick I am misunderstanding.

markc Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Encasement doesnt (normally) include base plates as grouted underneath and usually/often screed over the top. Baseplate is unlikely to fail or deform due to heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
