Maxi Projection of Base plate beyond face of leg angle / stiffner =

158.4

kg/sq.cm
< 91.74 kg/sq.cm Hence OK
mm

The maximum projection will be at one corner of base plate. The corner portion of base plate is cantilevered out from
two stiffner plates provided in orthogonal directions. Thus bending moment on 1cm width plate is to be assumed to be
shared equally in perpendicular direction.
Bending moment at face of stiffner = 32.28 x40 x 15.84 x 15.84 / 2

Total Vertical force (Tensile) = 47614.374 kg
Force / cm of weld length = 793.58 kg

(Eff Throat Thk. = 0.7 x Size of weld)
However Provide
12

As
12

Combined Stress Check for Short Circuit Condition:fs / Fs + ft / Ft < 1.4

(ref Cl 8.9.4.5 IS:800-1984)
fs / Fs + ft / Ft = 1206.7 / 1500 + 123.41 / 1000
fs / Fs + ft / Ft = 0.9278767 < 1.4 Hence OK
Anchor Length for Normal Condition :Anchor Length Le = Pull per Bolt / ( x d x bd)
tbd =

kg/sq.cm
(Refer Table-21, IS:456:2000)
Anchor Length Le = 11903.5935 / ( 3.14 x 4 x 9 1.33)
Anchor Length Le =
79.14
cms
Hence Provide 4 Nos 40 mm Dia Anchor Bolt with mini 791.4 mm Embedment Length to make Bolt safe in Bonding
PROVIDE ANCHOR LENGTH Le =
