Base Plate Thickness Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Base Plate Thickness = 2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension*(sqrt(Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/Yield Strength of Base Plate))
t_p = 2*l*(sqrt(f_p/F_y))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Base Plate Thickness - (Measured in Millimeter) - Base Plate Thickness is defined as the thickness of the base plate.
Maximum Cantilever Dimension - (Measured in Millimeter) - Maximum Cantilever Dimension is defined as the maximum value among Cantilever Dimensions and n equivalent cantilever dimension.
Bearing Pressure on Base Plate - (Measured in Megapascal) - Bearing Pressure on Base Plate is defined as the bearing pressure aciting on the base plate.
Yield Strength of Base Plate - (Measured in Megapascal) - The Yield Strength of Base Plate is the magnitude of the stress at which an object ceases to be elastic and transforms into plastic.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Cantilever Dimension: 25 Millimeter --> 25 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Bearing Pressure on Base Plate: 100 Megapascal --> 100 Megapascal No Conversion Required
Yield Strength of Base Plate: 51 Megapascal --> 51 Megapascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_p = 2*l*(sqrt(f_p/F_y)) --> 2*25*(sqrt(100/51))

Evaluating ... ...

t_p = 70.0140042014005

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0700140042014005 Meter -->70.0140042014005 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

70.0140042014005 ≈ 70.014 Millimeter <-- Base Plate Thickness

Base Plate Thickness

Go Base Plate Thickness = 2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension*(sqrt(Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/Yield Strength of Base Plate))

Bearing Pressure on Base Plate

Go Bearing Pressure on Base Plate = ((Base Plate Thickness^2)*Yield Strength of Base Plate)/(2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension)^2

Yeild Strength of Base Plate

Go Yield Strength of Base Plate = (2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension)^2*Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/(Base Plate Thickness)^2

Equivalent Cantilever Dimension

Go Equivalent Cantilever Dimension = (1/4)*sqrt(Depth of Section of Column*Width of Flange)

Depth of Section of Column for Equivalent Cantilever Dimension

Go Depth of Section of Column = (Equivalent Cantilever Dimension^2)*16/(Width of Flange)

Width of Flange Column for Equivalent Cantilever Dimension

Go Width of Flange = (Equivalent Cantilever Dimension^2)*16/(Depth of Section of Column)

Allowable Bearing Pressure given Area of Lowest Column of Structure

Go Allowable Bearing Pressure = Columns Axial Load/Area of Foundation

Area of Foundation of Lowest Column of Structure

Go Area of Foundation = Columns Axial Load/Allowable Bearing Pressure

Load using Area of Lowest Column of Structure

Go Columns Axial Load = Allowable Bearing Pressure*Area of Foundation

Allowable Bearing Pressure when Full Area of Support is Occupied by Base Plate

Go Allowable Bearing Pressure = 0.35*28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete

Base Plate Thickness Formula

Base Plate Thickness = 2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension*(sqrt(Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/Yield Strength of Base Plate))
t_p = 2*l*(sqrt(f_p/F_y))

What is the relation between Column and loading?

For columns subjected only to direct load, the welds of a column to a base plate, are required principally for withstanding erection stresses. The welds must be proportioned to resist the forces of columns subjected to uplift.

Define Base Plates and Anchor Rod.

Base plates and anchor rods are often the last structural steel items to be designed but the first items required on the job site. Therefore, the design of the column base plate and connections are part of the critical path.

How to Calculate Base Plate Thickness?

Base Plate Thickness calculator uses Base Plate Thickness = 2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension*(sqrt(Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/Yield Strength of Base Plate)) to calculate the Base Plate Thickness, The Base Plate Thickness formula is defined as distribute column loads over a large enough area of supporting concrete construction that the design bearing strength of the concrete is not exceeded. Base Plate Thickness is denoted by t_p symbol.
