Situation 1. Problem for practice:

A 370 mm x 450 mm base plate is used to transmit a load Practice 1
from a W31x79 steel column to a 520 mm x 600 mm concrete The W450 × 86 beam is supported by a concrete wall and a
pedestal. 140-mm-wide bearing plate as shown. The beam reaction is
300 kN. All steel are A36 steel with Fy = 250MPa. Concrete
Properties of W31x79: strength fc’ = 21 MPa.

d = 306 mm bf = 254 mm
A = 10100 mm2 Fy = 248 MPa
For concrete: fc’ = 21MPa

According to the NSCP, the allowable bearing pressure

on the pedestal is 0.35fc’ when the load is applied to the full
area of concrete support. If the base plate cover less than the
full area of the concrete support, the allowable bearing stress
is to be determine by the following expression:

Fp = 0.35fc’ A2 but not exceed 0.7fc’

A1

where:

A1 = bearing area The properties of W450 × 86 are as follows:

A2 = maximum area of the concrete support that is d = 450 mm tf = 18 mm
