Minimum Pocket Depth for Coloumns
What is the minimum pocket depth required for rebated coloumns
The minimum washer size is 3 mm. This could be different. If nothing is mentioned use 3 mm.
The minimum bolt stick out should be 1 pitch. For M20 it is 2.5 mm. Use 10 mm stick out.
Also there is grout. Pockets when cast could be of different depths. Use design grout of 15 mm minimum.
The top of the bolt should be 35 mm below slab level to prevent concrete Cracking.
Hence to be practical use 100 mm pocket depth with a base plate thickness of 16 mm and bolt size of 20 mm.

TEK1’s Steel Detailing for Sydney Metro – Resolving Design Challenges – 8
In this blog, we share a proposal we made to the builder to make installation easier on-site.
In the OTE platform steel, we provided a PSD beam (OTB5) to support the platform screen doors below. These beams will later need to coordinate with the door manufacturer’s system.
However, in practice, structural steel is rarely placed in the exact designed level due to factors like concrete alignment, mill tolerances, and site conditions. If the beam is installed as per the design without adjustment options, it may not match the required level for the doors.
To solve this, we proposed adding packer plates so the PSD beam level can be adjusted during installation.
The client accepted our proposal, and this solution will make the erection and alignment process much easier on site.
