Column Load for given Base Plate Area Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Column Load = Area required by Bearing Plate*0.7*Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete
Cl = A1*0.7*fc'
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Column Load - (Measured in Newton) - Column Load is the total vertical force or weight that a column in a structure is designed to support. This includes the self-weight and weight from other parts of the structure.
Area required by Bearing Plate - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area required by Bearing Plate is the space occupied by the bearing plate on concrete.
Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete - (Measured in Pascal) - Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete is the capacity of concrete to withstand applied loads on its surface without exhibiting cracks or deformations.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Area required by Bearing Plate: 23980 Square Millimeter --> 0.02398 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete: 28 Megapascal --> 28000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

8 Column Base Plates Calculators

Thickness of Plate for H shaped Column
Go Minimum Plate Thickness = Flange Thickness of H Shaped Columns*sqrt((3*Actual Bearing Pressure)/Allowable Bending Stress)
Plate Length
Go Bearing or Plate Length = sqrt(Area required by Bearing Plate)+(0.5*((0.95*Column Depth)-(0.80*Width of Plate)))
Column Flange Width given Plate Length
Go Width of Plate = (0.95*Column Depth-(Bearing or Plate Length-sqrt(Area required by Bearing Plate))/0.5)/0.80
Column Depth using Plate Length
Go Column Depth = (Bearing or Plate Length-(sqrt(Area required by Bearing Plate))+(0.80*Width of Plate))/0.95
Thickness of Plate
Go Minimum Plate Thickness = 2*Limiting Size*sqrt(Actual Bearing Pressure/Yield Stress of Steel)
Bearing Pressure given Plate Thickness
Go Actual Bearing Pressure = (Minimum Plate Thickness/(2*Limiting Size))^2*Yield Stress of Steel
Area Required by Base Plate
Go Area required by Bearing Plate = Column Load/(0.7*Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete)
Column Load for given Base Plate Area
Go Column Load = Area required by Bearing Plate*0.7*Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete

Column Load for given Base Plate Area Formula

Column Load = Area required by Bearing Plate*0.7*Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete
Cl = A1*0.7*fc'

What is Base Plate & types of Columns based on Slenderness Ratio?

The 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. It acts as a support to transfer the compression load acting over the columns. Column bases are usually assumed to be subject to axial compression and shear only.
Types of columns are as follows:
Long or Slender column: Length is more than critical buckling length and hence fails due to buckling.
Short column: The length is less than the critical buckling length and it fails by shearing.

What is the difference between Columns and Struts?

The Strut is mainly used in roof trusses and steel bridges. The main purpose of a strut is to maintain the rigidity of the structure and to take compressive force and is not designed to take any gravity load, but
the column is designed for various types of loads acting on it such as axial load bending moment gravity load shear forces buckling and horizontal load like earthquake load and wind load.
Both Column and Strut are comprehensive members but the main difference between them is column is a comprehensive member of the frame structure and the strut is a comprehensive member of the truss structure.
