Notes: 1. Circular or square washers meeting the washer size are acceptible.
2. Clearance must be considered when choosing an appropriate anchor rod hole location, noting effects such as the
position of the rod in the hole with respect to the column, weld size and other interferences.
3. When base plates are less than 11/4 in. thick, punching of holes may be an economical option. In this case, 3/4-in.
anchor rods and 11/16-in.-diameter punched holes may be used with ASTM F844 (USS Standard) washers in place
of fabricated plate washers.
