The design drawing requested one column at the wall corner. Also both sides of the corner wall had windows that stand from the finished floor level.
In this instance, we couldn’t follow the structural engineer’s recommended base plate details, because the base plate and anchors will interfere with the window clear open area.
So we suggested the single anchor at the center of the column and make with one access hole in the column web.
The client accepted our suggestions for this case. See the attached snap to understand the issue, and try to spot the problem, and try to solve the problem as if you were facing it for the first time.
