Anchor Bolt minimum pitch warning
Hi I'm checking a base plate. My bolts are M20. As per AS 5100.6, minimum pitch is 2.5d=50mm. Even as per ACI, minimum spacing is 4d=80mm (untorqued), M20, 4.6/S. I provided 85mm and Profis gave a warning that its too less and minimum should be 90mm. I had to update it to 90mm then. Whats the reason behind this warning? can yo...
