7.2.4. What thickness and size of washer is required for the preferred hole diameters in base plates?
A general rule of thumb is given in AISC Design Guide #10 Erection Bracing of Low-Rise Structural Steel Frames1: the minimum thickness
should be one-third the diameter of the anchor rod and that the minimum diameter (or length and width for a non-circular washer) should be
1-in. larger than the hole diameter. When the anchor rod transmits tension, the washer size must be sufficient to transmit the force to the
base plate. Washers of the appropriate size can generally be fabricated from plate.
