Beams
• BEAM BEARING PLATES AND COLUMN BASE PLATES
 Column Base Plates:
 EXAMPLE 5.17
A W10 × 49 is used as a column and is supported by a concrete
pier as shown in Figure. The top surface of the pier is 18 inches
by 18 inches. Design an A36 base plate for a column dead load
of 98 kips and a live load of 145 kips. The concrete strength is
f′c = 3000 psi.

LRFD SOLUTION
The factored load is:
Pu = 1.2D + 1.6L = 1.2(98) + 1.6(145) = 349.6 kips
Compute the required bearing area. From AISC Equation J8-2,
