Bearing Pressure on Base Plate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Bearing Pressure on Base Plate - (Measured in Megapascal) - Bearing Pressure on Base Plate is defined as the bearing pressure aciting on the base plate.
Base Plate Thickness - (Measured in Millimeter) - Base Plate Thickness is defined as the thickness of 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.
Maximum Cantilever Dimension - (Measured in Millimeter) - Maximum Cantilever Dimension is defined as the maximum value among Cantilever Dimensions and n equivalent cantilever dimension.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Base Plate Thickness: 70 Millimeter --> 70 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Yield Strength of Base Plate: 51 Megapascal --> 51 Megapascal No Conversion Required
Maximum Cantilever Dimension: 25 Millimeter --> 25 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f_p = ((t_p^2)*F_y)/(2*l)^2 --> ((70^2)*51)/(2*25)^2

Evaluating ... ...

f_p = 99.96

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

Bearing Pressure on Base Plate Formula

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

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.
