Base plates and anchor rods are critical components for connecting steel structures to their foundations. This design guide provides recommendations for properly sizing base plates and anchor rods to safely transfer loads from the steel structure into the concrete foundation. Engineers should follow the guidelines in this manual to ensure base plates and anchor rods are designed to fully develop the strength of the steel members and withstand all anticipated forces and moments.
