STEEL COLUMN
BASE PLATES
Purpose:
=======
connect column to its support
ample bearing area
seat at proper elevation
level surface
uniform distribution of load
Application:
=========
transfer bearing to concrete footing
steel plate welded to column
light load - small plates
high-strength steel - heavy plates
Plate Design:
=========
Design according to AISC Manual
and AISC Code
Based on allowable bearing pressure
(typically allowable bearing stress on concrete)
Determination of Plate:
=================
A 1
= P / Fp
A 1
= Plan Area of bearing plate
= B x N
N = thickness of the wall
B = length
for excessive length use shallow
I-beam instead of flat plate
P
= compression load of the column

A. GIVEN
base plate of A36 steel
for a W 12 x 58 column
with a load of 250 kips.
The column bears on a large
3,000 psi reinforced concrete footing
with fc' = 3 ksi
B. ASKED
Design the column base plate N = length B = width t = thickness m = edge distance x m = edge distance y
C. GRAPH
D. SOLUTION
1. We assume the footing are is considerably
larger than the plate area
thus
Fp = 0.3 fc' for plate = concrete

t = 0.814 inch
plates are usually specified in thickness
increments of 1/8 inch
so the minimum thickness would be 7/8 inch.
0.875 inch
E. ANSWER
Minimum thickness to be 7/8 inch (0.875 inch)
