Support Strength, f'c = 4 Ksi
Loaded Area, A1 = 484 in^2
Support Area, A2 =The largest area contained on the
support that is geometrically similar to and concentric
with the loaded area.

Load Set: Load Set 1
Load Combination: 1.4D
Base Plate Parameters:
B = 22 in, N = 22 in, f = 9.5 in, Pu = 140 K, eN = 10. in
For large moments, fpu = f fpn (See Support Bearing Capacity)
fpu = 2.21 Ksi
Check Base Plate Dimensions:
Base plate with large moment
(Fig. 3.4.1 AISC Design Guide #1)
420.25 in^2 > 112.3 in^2 Base Plate area is adequate
= 2.9515 in
= 2.21 Ksi * 22 in * 2.9515 in - 140 K = 3.501 K
Base Plate Bending Demand: Tension Interface
= 0.71959 ft-K/ft
Base Plate Bending Demand: Bearing Interface
= 4.9675 in
Mu(n) calculation is a crude attempt at including some 2-way
bending in the analysis. The approach is based on the note at
the end of section 3.4.2.
= 6.12 in
= 2.21 Ksi * 6.12 in^2.0 / 2.0 = 41.387 ft-K/ft
Since Y < m
Mu(Bearing) = 41.387 ft-K/ft
Figure shows bending lines of column and
illustrates base plate under strong axis bending.
Effective width shown by dashed lines.
Column Depth, d = 12.7 in
Column Width, b = 12.2 in
Depth Reduction Factor, = 0.95 (sect 3.1.3)
Width Reduction Factor, g = 0.95 (sect 3.1.3)
= 2.21 Ksi * 2.9515 in * (4.9675 in - 2.9515 in / 2.0) = 22.776 ft-K/ft
Controlling Mu = max( 0.71959 ft-K/ft , 41.387 ft-K/ft) = 41.387 ft-K/ft
Base Plate w/ Large Strong-Axis Moment (AISC Design Guide #1, Section 3.4)
Moment arm for tension anchor group, x = 3.4675 in
w = Effective width for tension anchor group, where the load distributes at 45 degree angles
w = 16.87 in
