    Designing for Structural Stability

    4.5.2 In situ Pocket Foundation h

    The in situ Pocket Foundation will provide a fixed Precast Column


    base connection to the precast column, which is Grouted into Pocket
    with High Strength
    particularly useful in low rise precast industrial units Concrete supplied
    where the cantilever action of the column provides on-site by Main
    Contractor
    the lateral stability for the building, thus reducing
    the amount of horizontal and vertical bracing
    required.
    100mm
    The column is embedded into the pocket pad
    foundation by a distance of at least 1.5 times the
    maximum column foot dimension. When structural
    requirements determine that the column must
    have a large foot dimension, the in situ pocket
    1.5h min.
    foundation can become uneconomical and other
    foundation solutions should be employed.

    The main contractor is responsible for the


    preparation of column foundations. This work must
    be carried out to a high degree of accuracy to avoid Engineering Brick 300mm min.
    delays in the installation of columns.

    4.5.3 Bolted or Baseplate Connections COLUMN TO BEAM CONNECTIONS
    Steel baseplates are attached to the precast concrete column during manufacture
    by casting-in grade 8.8 threaded bars and bolting the baseplate to the column.
    Alternatively, mild steel bars can be welded to the baseplate and cast onto the
    foot of the column during the curing process. The column is then fixed to the in
    situ foundation using cast-in holding down bolts to form a pinned base connection.
    Alternatively, the precast column can be fixed onto an existing base using holding
    down bolts which are drilled into place and fixed using a chemical anchor resin.
