Jul 14, 2019 · Based on the bolt type shown it appears the 1st picture temp plate is a leveling plate because it has leveling nuts under it. The nuts may be used to level the plate before the column is set. The 2nd picture leveling plate is manually leveled without any bolts and later it looks like epoxy anchors or cinch anchors are then used to attach the ...

Jun 13, 2011 · By sloping out from the base plate you can get a little more bearing area on your pier. The grout allows a little play in the as-cast foundation height as gives you space for leveling. On exterior base plates the grout keeps water from sitting in the plate/pier joint. Not really compelling arguments for sure.

Aug 14, 2021 · What I meant is adding nylon washers between leveling nut and a base plate instead of a typical F436 washers. This way erector gets his nuts and I presumably don't have to worry about anchor heads punching through the bottom of the pedestal (There is only 8" of concrete under the anchor heads, pedestals are 16" x 16").

May 9, 2007 · As discussed on this forum ad nauseum, the leveling plate (1/4" usually) can be installed on leveling nuts and grouted with virtually no load on the plate prior to column installation. The only problem with either method as I see it, is if the leveling nut can force the anchor road to take a compressive load that is usually not designed for in ...

Jul 8, 2009 · The company I work for now has a standard call out to provide double nuts on the anchor bolt for leveling of the base plates. Previous employer left this as a constructability issue in which the contractors just used shims for leveling. Both shims and nuts are covered by non shrink grout after leveling.

Dec 4, 2002 · With the leveling nut method, the only portion of the anchor bolt in tension is the short portion engaged by the two nuts and baseplate. This may be an unfounded concern from a misguided mechanical engineeer. Please comment on the pros and cons of the leveling nut approach in the instance of a moment load at the baseplate. 2.

Aug 22, 2002 · 1) Leveling plate where a bed of grout is placed, then a thin plate that matches the base plate dimensions is set into the grout bed - level (hopefully) and to the correct elevation. 2) Leveling nuts where a nut is placed on each anchor rod to the correct elevation.

May 2, 2003 · With leveling nuts, there may be voids in the grout under the base plate, and even if there is full contact between the base plate and grout, strain compatibility dictates the anchor bolts will carry the bulk of the compression load. If one or 2 of the anchor bolts yield, there will be eccentricity introduced at the support.

Aug 26, 2008 · I was just adding that without substantial axial load, there is also little, if any, structural advantage to adding grout to a baseplate supported by leveling nuts. Even when significant axial load is present, it is difficult to achieve a condition where a baseplate with steel leveling nuts is supported by the grout, rather than the anchor bolts.
