Failed Column Base
Failed Structural Design
Alma Engineering, PC, performed a Structural Assessment and Inspection for an industrial building in Brooklyn. Column base plates and grout pad are a critical component of a structure which transfer the vertical and lateral load to the ground. In this case, the grout pad was too thick and anchor bolts were not long enough to penetrate the slab.
