Which minimum eccentric gravity load and distance does OSHA 1926.755(a)(2) specify for the column anchor-rod assembly during erection?

Correct Answer

C) 300 lb at 18 in.

The minimum in 1926.755(a)(2) is 300 pounds at 18 inches from the column’s extreme outer face in each direction at the shaft top. It covers the assembly, including the base-plate weld and foundation. A design resisting more is not thereby noncompliant; this is not the complete load design. Source: https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.755
