Hello

I am working on a base plate for HSS steel column and facing an issue with the placement of anchor bolts.
Apparently the column will be placed on the edge of the foundation wall due to which the base plate can not be extended on that edge and the column cannot be moved.
The foundation wall is not wide enough to allow anchor bolts on either side of the column.
So the only option is to provide anchor bolts on only one side of the column.

I am a bit skeptical about using this method because it seems that any moments or uplift forces will make the connection unstable.

I would really appreciate some feedback on this issue.

Thanks!
