Width Parallel to Flanges Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width = Area of Base Plate/Length
B = A₁/N
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Width - (Measured in Meter) - The width is parallel to the flanges.
Area of Base Plate - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Base Plate is the area of flat supporting plate or frame at the base of a column.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - The length of a rectangular base plate for a wide-flange column.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Base Plate: 700 Square Millimeter --> 0.0007 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Length: 30 Millimeter --> 0.03 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B = A₁/N --> 0.0007/0.03

Evaluating ... ...

B = 0.0233333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0233333333333333 Meter -->23.3333333333333 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

23.3333333333333 ≈ 23.33333 Millimeter <-- Width

Projection of Base Plate beyond Flange and Parallel to Web

Go Projection of Base Plate Beyond Flange = Thickness/(sqrt(2*Factored Load/(0.9*Yield Load*Width*Length)))

Base Plate Thickness given Projection of Base Plate beyond Flange and Parallel to Web

Go Thickness = Projection of Base Plate Beyond Flange*sqrt(2*Factored Load/(0.9*Yield Load*Width*Length))

Projection of Base Plate beyond Flange and Perpendicular to Web

Go Projection of Base Plate Beyond Edge = Thickness/(sqrt(2*Factored Load/(0.9*Yield Load*Width*Length)))

Base Plate Thickness given Projection of Base Plate beyond Flange and Perpendicular to Web

Go Thickness = Projection of Base Plate Beyond Edge*sqrt(2*Factored Load/(0.9*Yield Load*Width*Length))

Length Rectangular Base for Projection of Base Plate beyond Flange and Parallel to Web

Go Length = Projection of Base Plate Beyond Flange^2*(2*Factored Load/(0.9*Yield Load*Width*Thickness^2))

Yield Load for Projection of Base Plate beyond Flange and Parallel to Web

Go Yield Load = Projection of Base Plate Beyond Flange^2*(2*Factored Load/(0.9*Length*Width*Thickness^2))

Length Rectangular Base for Projection of Base Plate beyond Flange and Perpendicular to Web

Go Length = Projection of Base Plate Beyond Edge^2*(2*Factored Load/(0.9*Yield Load*Width*Thickness^2))

Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete using Nominal Bearing Strength

Go Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete = (Nominal Bearing Strength/0.85)*sqrt(Area of Base Plate/Area of supporting Concrete)

Nominal Bearing Strength of Concrete

Go Nominal Bearing Strength = Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete*0.85*sqrt(Area of supporting Concrete/Area of Base Plate)

Area of Supporting Concrete given Nominal Bearing Strength

Go Area of supporting Concrete = Area of Base Plate*((Nominal Bearing Strength/(Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete*0.85))^2)

Area of Base Plate given Nominal Bearing Strength

Go Area of Base Plate = Area of supporting Concrete/((Nominal Bearing Strength/(Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete*0.85))^2)

Required Area of Base Plate for Factored Load

Go Area of Base Plate = Factored Load/(0.85*Strength Reduction Factor*Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete)

Factored Load given Base Plate Area

Go Factored Load = Area of Base Plate*0.85*Strength Reduction Factor*Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete

Length Rectangular Base for Wide-Flange Column

Go Length = Area of Base Plate/Width

Width Parallel to Flanges

Go Width = Area of Base Plate/Length

Width Parallel to Flanges Formula

Width = Area of Base Plate/Length
B = A₁/N

How do you make a Base Plate?

The base plate should be of sufficient size, stiffness and strength to transmit the axial compressive force from the column to the foundation through the bedding material, without exceeding the local bearing resistance of the foundation.
