    Anchor bolt holes in steel base plates connected to concrete foundations are intentionally made larger than the bolt diameter to allow for misplacement of anchor bolts during construction. The document recommends hole diameters up to 1/4 inch larger than AISC guidelines to accommodate field variations. Proper placement of heavy plate washers is important with oversized holes to prevent washers from collapsing into the holes under erection loads.

    Anchor Bolt Holes

    Hole sizes for steel-to-steel structural connections are not the same as hole sizes for steel-to-concrete anchorage
    applications. In the case of steel-to-steel connections, the parts are made in a shop under good quality control, so
    standard holes (bolt diameter plus 1/16″), oversized holes (bolt diameter plus 3/16″), and short and long-slotted holes
    can be used quite successfully. However, the field placement of anchorage devices has long been subject to more
    permissive tolerances (and often, inaccuracies that exceed those tolerances anyway and may require consideration by
    the structural Engineer of Record).

    AISC published Steel Design Guide Series 1, Column Base Plates back in the early 1990s. At that time, it was
    recognized that the quality of foundation work was getting worse and worse. To allow the erector (and designer)
    greater latitude when possible, the permissible hole sizes in base plates were increased. These same larger hole sizes
    were included in the 2nd ed. LRFD Manual. The values there are maximums, not a required size. Smaller holes can be
    used if desired. Plate washers are generally required with these holes because ASTM F436 washers can collapse into
    the larger-sized holes, even under erection loads.

    The larger hole sizes are primarily intended for the majority of base plates that transfer only axial compression from
    the column into the foundation. The anchor rods don’t usually do much after erection in that case.

    To allow for misplaced bolts, holes in base plates are oversized. The AISC Manual of Steel Construction
    recommends the following oversized hole diameters for each bolt diameter:

    Anchor Bolt Holes

    Bolt Diameter Hole Size

    3/4 1 5/16

    7/8 1 9/16

    1 1 13/16

    1 1/4 2 1/16

    1 1/2 2 5/16

    1 3/4 2 3/4

    2 3 1/4

    2 1/2 3 3/4

    AISC, Steel Design Guide Series 1, Column Base Plates, suggests that using oversize holes meeting these criteria
    may still not accommodate field variations in anchor bolt placement and suggests adding 1/4 in. to the hole diameter
    listed. The guide recommends using a heavy plate washer over the holes. The AISC Structural Steel Educational
    Council cites the following example: “If bolts are misplaced up to 1/2 inch, the oversized base plate holes normally
    allow the base plate and column to be placed near or on the column line. If the bolts are misplaced by more than 1/2
    inch, then corrective work is required.”

    Based on AISC oversize holes, the AISC Structural Steel Educational Council recommendations, and concrete
    contractor anchor-bolt placement techniques, ASCC (American Society of Concrete Contractors) concrete contractors
    recommend the following tolerance for each bolt location:

    3/4-in. and 7/8-in. diameter bolts: ±1/4 in.


    1-in., 1-1/4-in., and 1-1/2-in. diameter bolts: ±3/8 in.
    1-3/4-in., 2-in., and 2-1/2-in. diameter bolts: ±1/2 in.
