Hey guys, i saw the note from EOR, Says "levelling plate may not be used for column base plates whose greatest dimension exceeds 300mm", Can anyone explain why is this?
I always though 600mm was about the limit for leveling plates (see AISC design guide on base plates). It is interesting that this is half of what I would have thought.
AISC Design Guide 1 recommends a limit of about 24in to prevent issues with warping due to the thickness of the plate when fabricated, assuming a 1/4in. plate.
