What is column base plate?

It serves as a support plate. Base plates are usually used to distribute column loads over a large enough area of supporting concrete construction that the design bearing strength of the concrete is not exceeded. Column bases are usually assumed to be subject to axial compression and shear only.

FAQ

What is Area Required by the Base Plate?

The Area Required by the Base Plate is the minimum area needed for the column base plate in order to prevent failure. and is represented as A₁=R/(0.7*f_c') or Area required by base plate=Column load/(0.7*Specified compressive strength of concrete). Column load is the load acting on the column cross section and Specified compressive strength of concrete is the measured strength of hardened concrete by compression test (7th day or 28th day etc.).

How to calculate Area Required by the Base Plate?

The Area Required by the Base Plate is the minimum area needed for the column base plate in order to prevent failure. is calculated using Area required by base plate=Column load/(0.7*Specified compressive strength of concrete). To calculate Area Required by the Base Plate, you need Column load (R) and Specified compressive strength of concrete (f_c'). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Column load and Specified compressive strength of concrete and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
