How does the structural steel detailer calculate the required projection of an anchor rod above a footing or foundation wall?

What will be an ideal response?


The structural detailer just adds the thickness of the grout, plus the thickness of the baseplate, plus a minimum of 1½ times the diameter of the bolt. In actual practice, twice the diameter of the rod is probably more common, which means the projection above the top of the column baseplate for ¾"-diameter rods will be 1½". This will ensure enough thread above the baseplate for a nut and washer.
