WF Base Plate Design Based on AISC-ASD 9th Edition

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

AXIAL LOAD OF COMPRESSION P = 600 kips
CONCRETE STRENGTH fc' =
3 ksi
COLUMN SIZE => W12x106
BASE PLATE SIZE N = 19 in
B = 16 in
AREA OF CONCRETE SUPPORT A 2
= 1156 in2
(geometrically similar to and concentric with the loaded area.)

USE
19 x 16
1-5/8 in thick plate

ANALYSIS
CHECK BEARING PRESSURE [Page 3-107]:
P / A1 > 0.35 f'c < = Not govern
( 1.97 ) ( 1.05 )
Where A1 = 304 in2, actual area of base plate.

P / A1 < MIN [ 0.35 f'C (A2 / A1)0.5, 0.7 f'C ] [Satisfactory]

( 1.97 ) ( 2.05 )

DETERMINE THE VALUE OF m AND n :

m = 0.5 (N - 0.95 d) = 3.38 in
n = 0.5 (B - 0.8 bf ) = 3.11 in
Where d = 12.89 in, depth of column section.
bf = 12.22 in, flange width of column section.

DETERMINE THICKNESS OF BASE PLATE [Page 3-108]:

tp = 2 c (P / A1 Fy)0.5 = 1.58 in
Where c = MAX ( m, n, ln' ) = 3.38 in
l = 1.0
n' = ( d bf )0.5 / 4 = 3.14 in

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

FACTORED AXIAL FORCE Ru = 1100 kips

ANALYSIS
CHECK BEARING PRESSURE [Page 11-58]:
Ru / A1 < fc ( 0.85 f'c ) < = Not govern
( 1.51 ) ( 1.53 )
Where A1 = 728 in2, actual area of base plate.

DETERMINE THE VALUE OF m AND n :

m = 0.5 (N - 0.95 d) = 11.62 in
n = 0.5 (B - 0.8 bf ) = 11.00 in
Where d = 5.01 in, depth of column section.
bf = 5.00 in, flange width of column section.

DETERMINE THICKNESS OF BASE PLATE [Page 11-59]:

tp = l ( 2Ru / 0.9 A1 Fy)0.5 = 3.55 in
Where l = MAX ( m, n, ln' ) = 11.62 in
l = 1.0
n' = ( d bf )0.5 / 4 = 1.25 in
