Steel BASE Plate Design
Steel BASE Plate Design
Program Description:
"BASEPLT9" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of steel column base
plates. Specifically, wide flange column base plates may be subjected to axial loads (compression or tension),
with or without major-axis column bending, plus major-axis shear. Base plate bearing pressure is checked as
well as bolt tension, if applicable. If shear is present, bolt shear as well as interaction of bolt tension and shear,
if applicable, are calculated. Finally, the required base plate thickness is calculated. There is a separate
worksheet for base plate shear lug design, when shear load is high and cannot be effectively handled by bolts.
This program is a workbook consisting of four (4) worksheets, described as follows:

9. The "Shear Lug" worksheet follows the AISC "Steel Design Guide Series #7 - Industrial Buildings - Roofs to
Column Anchorage" (page 33 and pages 38-40).
10. The "Base Plate (Table)" worksheet enables the user to analyze/design virtually any number of individual
column bases or column load combinations. Refer to that worksheet for list of specific assumptions used.
11. This program contains numerous comment boxes which contain a wide variety of information including
explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a comment box
is denoted by a red triangle in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the
desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)
