this formula?

M = F1*d1+F2*d2

F1

F2/d2=F1/d1

stiffener To be
provided

F2 = F1*(d2/d1)
F2
M=

F1*d1+F1*(d22/d1)

F1 = N1*Asb*fy; N1 = no. of
Bolts; Asb = area of Bolts
F2 = N2*Asb*fy; N2 = no. of
Bolts; Asb = area of Bolts
fy = 640MPa (8.8 bolts)

Rigid of rotation

Kindly note that the calculation is for


strength check only. The stiffness of
bolts is unknown. the connection is
simi rigid or partially fixed.
Therefore it is better to assume the
connection is simple and not
moment type. That is why we
require stiffner.

w = P/(a*b)
a & b = length and
width of baseplate

P
x

w <= 0.6 fcu


M = w*x2/2
I = b*t3/12
c = t/2
fy = M*c/I
fy = w*x2/2*(t/2)/
(b*t3/12)
fy = 3*w*x2/(b/t2)
t2 = 3*w*x2/fy
t = x(3*w/fy)0.5
t =x*[3*P/(fy*a*b)]0.5
