Specific Part

1 Technical description of the product

The Peikko Bolda® column shoe consists of a base plate and a side plate of steel, which are
welded together. Anchor bars made of reinforcing steel are welded to the side plate.
The product description is given in Annex A.

2 Specification of the intended use in accordance with the applicable European

Assessment Document

The column shoes serve as connectors of e.g. between a reinforced concrete column and a
foundation or between two reinforced concrete columns or between two reinforced concrete
beams.
The performances given in Section 3 are only valid if the column shoe is used in compliance
with the specifications and conditions given in Annex B.
The verifications and assessment methods on which this European Technical Assessment is
based lead to the assumption of a working life of the column shoe of at least 50 years. The
indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the
producer, but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right products in relation to
the expected economically reasonable working life of the works.

• Installation of the BOLDA® Column Shoes in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications given in Annex
B3 and Technical Manual of BOLDA® Column Shoes
• BOLDA® Column Shoes have to be fixed to the formwork so that no movement occurs during the time of
laying the main and supplementary reinforcement and casting and compacting the concrete.
• Correct and proper compaction of the concrete in the area of the BOLDA® Column Shoes.
• The BOLDA® Column Shoes have to be protected against penetration of concrete, water and oil.
• The spacing and clear distances between BOLDA® Column Shoes must be selected according to
EN 1992-1-1:2004+AC10 and shall be such that the concrete can be placed and compacted satisfactorily for
the development of adequate bond.
• Examples of spacings and arrangements of BOLDA® Column Shoes are given in Fig. B1 and Table B1.
• The BOLDA® Column Shoes may be used in any cross section of concrete columns, for example: square,
rectangle, L-form, oval and circle.

Installation instructions

1. Positioning
1. The BOLDA® Column Shoes are placed into the
reinforcement of the column into planned location
and fixed through the holes of their base plates to
the end plate of the formwork with recess boxes and
wing screws.
2. Supplementary reinforcement must be placed at the
area of column base, according to drawings
3. Fasten and tie the anchor bars of the BOLDA®
Column Shoes to the main reinforcement of column

2. Casting and compacting

1. Carefully pour in concrete paying attention to built-in
BOLDA® Column Shoes and reinforcements
2. Compact concrete properly, avoid contact between
vibrating device and BOLDA® Column Shoes and
reinforcements
→ Do not move or damage BOLDA® Column Shoes

Installation instructions - precast element

1. Column is installed directly on the 2. Upper washers are installed on 3. After the upper nuts are
pre-leveled washers and the the base plate and upper nuts are tightened, the crane hook
lower nuts screwed on the bolts and lifting slings can be
released

NOTE ! Joint has to be grouted with non-shrink mortar (grout) and grout has to reach the
designed strength before the column is loaded by other structures.

4. Install formwork for grouting joint and 5. Alternative (filling pipe for 6. The finalized connection
recesses, joint has to be grouted with grouting) where grouting is after grouting has hardened
non-shrink mortar (grout) aligned with column face
