Size of Base Plate and Anchor Connection

1 Material Properties:
Steel Grade= 250 MPa
Concrete Grade= 20 MPa
Bolt Grade= 4.6

2 Section Properties:
350x350x16
D= 350 mm
t= 16 mm

3 Loads:
Factored Axial Load= 345.7218 kN
Factored Moment= 11.0798 kNm

4 Calculations:
a Design of Base Plate
Eccentricities
e= 0.03204831 m

Minimum length of base plate, assuming 125mm projection from column,

L= 600 mm

e/L= 0.05341385 < 0.16666667 (e/L)

Hence, the base plate is in compression throughout

To limit the bearing pressure from concrete to 0.45fck, the width required,
B= 128.045111 mm
Provide, B= 600 mm

Provided Size of Base Plate= 600 X 600 mm

Area Provided, A= 360000 mm2

Section Modulus, Z= 36000000 mm3

Maximum Pressure, Pmax= 1.26811056 N/mm2

Minimum Pressure, Pmin= 0.65256611 N/mm2
Bearing Strength of Concrete= 9 N/mm2
OK

Base pressure at column face= 1.13987213 N/mm2

 Moment at critical section, Mc= 8956.54638 Nmm
1.2*Ze*fy/rm0= Mc
tb= 14.0372369 mm
Provided, tb= 16 mm
>11.6mm

b Design of Weld

Since the entire base plate is in compression and if complete bearing is there between
the column end and the base plate, the weld will be required only to hold the column in
position. A nomincal 8mm size weld may be provided around the profile of the column
section. However, if the column and base are not machined for column bearing, welds
will have to be designed for loads and moments

Maximum Tension in flange= 245.31 kN

Length available for weld = 700 mm on one side
Let us provide weld of= 5 mm
Strength of field weld per mm length= 552.331758 N/mm

Length of weld required= 222.067622 mm

< 700 mm
OK
0.2286
c Design of Anchor Bolts
Let Bolt Diameter= 20 mm
Alpha, a= 250 mm
x= 33.8749254 mm
Force on Bolt= 162.797203 kN Tension
For 20mm dia bolt, Anb=245 mm and Asb= 314mm2
2

Tensile strength of bolt, Tnb= 88.2 kN

Should be less than 89.2045455 kN
Hence, Tnb= 88.2 kN
Tdb= 70.56
No. of Bolts required= 4
However due to the size of base plate, 12 nos Bolts is provided
Length of Bolt
Based on Bond of Bolt and Concrete= 946.969697 mm
Based on Pull out Criteria= 101.190852 mm
Provided a depth of 1000mm
