What is flange section?

If we consider a T-section, the upright portion carrying the tension of the beam is termed a web or stem, and the horizontal part that carries the compression is termed a flange. Here width of flange for column is the width possessed by the base plate used which act as the flange.

How to Calculate Plate Length?

Plate Length calculator uses Length of plate=sqrt(Area required by base plate)+(0.5*((0.95*Column depth)-(0.80*Width of Flange))) to calculate the Length of plate, The Plate Length is defined as the minimum length of plate required to keep an economical design for base plate. . Length of plate and is denoted by N symbol.

How to calculate Plate Length using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Plate Length, enter Area required by base plate (A₁), Column depth (d) and Width of Flange (b_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Plate Length calculation can be explained with given input values -> 29.75 = sqrt(0.0001)+(0.5*((0.95*0.05)-(0.80*0.01))).

FAQ

What is Plate Length?

The Plate Length is defined as the minimum length of plate required to keep an economical design for base plate. and is represented as N=sqrt(A₁)+(0.5*((0.95*d)-(0.80*b_f))) or Length of plate=sqrt(Area required by base plate)+(0.5*((0.95*Column depth)-(0.80*Width of Flange))). Area required by base plate is the minimum area needed by the base plate to avoid failure. , Column depth is the horizontal length of column cross section and Width of Flange is defined as the spacing of the beam, which is the same as the distance between the middle points of the adjacent spans of the slab.

How to calculate Plate Length?

The Plate Length is defined as the minimum length of plate required to keep an economical design for base plate. is calculated using Length of plate=sqrt(Area required by base plate)+(0.5*((0.95*Column depth)-(0.80*Width of Flange))). To calculate Plate Length, you need Area required by base plate (A₁), Column depth (d) and Width of Flange (b_f).
