Hello,
Does anyone have the book "Prefabricated concrete for industrial and public structures" by Laszlo Mokk, or any info regarding the design of "socket base connections".

Hello,
For anyone who is interested, you can find guidance on the following papers:
"Stress Transfer Mechanism of Socket Base Connections With Precast Concrete Columns" ACI Structural Journal, May-June 1996, 93-S24
"Behaviour of Socket Base Connections Emphasizing Pedestal Walls" ACI Structural Journal, May-June 2009, 106-S26
You can find them on the forum.

in europe, this is also called "pocket foundation". germans have specifications on that subject (try a civilea/google search) but you have to have in mind that these specifications as far as i know doesn't cover any seismic issues.
