Check for Anchor plate:
Assume anchor plate Diameter, Dp = 75
Assume anchor plate thickness = 15

Area of Bolt, Ab1 = 615.75
Effective bearing area, Ba = (Ap - Ab1 ) = 3802.11
Tension per bolt due to axial force, T 1 = 73.5
Bearing pressure on concrete, Pb = T1 / Ba = 19.33
Allowable bearing pressure on concrete, P a=0.60fcu = 24.00
Pb (19.33 MPa) < Pa (24 MPa), hence SAFE.

Check for Anchor plate and Anchor rod weld:

Tension per bolt due to axial force, T₁ = 73.5
Tension per mm of weld (Top & Bot Weld), F tw = (T₁ / (π x d1))/2
Ftw = 0.42
Size of weld required per rod, Sw = Ftw / (0.707 x Pw )
Sw = 2.69
However, provide thickness of weld top and bottom = 10
Check for weld between column and the baseplate:
Total length of weld, Lw = π x Db = 4017.56

Ftm = 0.18
Shear per mm of weld due to shear X, F lx = Vx / Lw = 0.055
Shear per mm of weld due to shear Y, F ly = Vy / Lw = 0.033
Resultant shear per mm of weld, F rw = √ (Ftm2 +( Flx + Fly)2)
Frw = 0.203
Size of weld required per rod, Srw = Frw/(0.707xPw) = 1.31
However provide Full Penetration Butt Weld
Check for thickness of Base plate:
Resistance factor, Φ1 = 0.9
Thickness of plate assumed, tp1 = 25
 Tension per bolt due to axial force, T 1 = 73.5
Bolt pitch, p1 = 133.52
Eccentricity for bolts, L = 50.55
Moment on plate, BM = T1 x L = 3.72
Section modulus of plate, Z = (p1 x tp12)/6 = 13908.09
Moment capacity of plate, Mcap = Z x fy x Φ1 = 4.32
BM (3.72 MPa) < Mcap (4.32 MPa), hence OK, but consider providing stiifener plate as additional FOS.

Depth of stiffener, Ds = 150

Total depth of T section, Dt = tp1 + Ds = 175
Depth of web in T section, Dwt = Ds = 150

Centroid of T section, y = [(Wt*tp1²/2) + (Dwt*ts)(tp1 + Dwt/2)
y = 43.15
moment of inertia, Ixx = Wt(tp1³/12)+Wt(tp1)(y-tp1/2)²]+ts(D
Ixx = 6769822.8
Dist. b/w the Centroid and the top of T section, y 1 = Dt – y
y1 = 131.85
Maximum distance of y, ymax = Max (y & y1) = 131.85
Net section modulus of web about major axis, Z zz = Ixx / ymax
Zzz = 51346.5558469
Flexural capacity of the section, Mcz = 0.9 x fy x Zzz = 15.94
BM (3.72 KN-m) < Mcz (15.94 KN-m), hence Safe.
