    This document summarizes the design of a base plate for a 219mm diameter pole. Calculations are shown to determine the required section modulus of 30.42 cm3 based on an applied moment of 55.789 kNm. A 400x400x20mm thick steel plate is initially selected but does not meet the required section modulus. To reinforce the base plate, eight 1cm thick stiffener plates each with dimensions of 12cm x 1cm are added. With the stiffeners, the total moment of inertia is calculated to be 3565.3 cm4, providing a section modulus of 982.18 cm3 which satisfies the design requirement.

    BASE PLATE DESIGN FOR Ф219MM POLE:

    Average available spacing = 0.3 m


    From staad analysis, LC 224 JOINT 10

    Applied Moment = 55.789 KNm


    Tensile force on base plate = Applied moment/ Average bolt spacing+Tensile Force
    = 185.96 + -18.655 = 167.305 KN
    Projection on each side of base plate = 0.05 m
    Bending moment on the base plate = Tensile force x Projection length
    = 8.36525 KNm
    Design strength of base plate = 275 N/mm²

    Section modulus required = Bending moment/ strength of base plate


    = 8.365X10³/275
    = 30.42 cm³

    Provide400x400x20 mm thick MS plate for base plate


    Length of base plate = 40 cm
    Width of base plate = 40 cm
    Thickness of base plate = 2 cm
    Section modulus available = 26.67 cm³ Not Ok, Provide stiffeners

    provide 8 nos of 1.0cm thick MS stiffener plates to reinforce the base plate
    Thickness of stiffener b1 = 1 cm
    Depth of stiffener d1 = 12 cm
    a1 = 12 cm² a2 = 80 cm²
    y1 = 8 cm y2 = 1 cm
    Y = (a1y1b1 + a2y2)/(a1b1 +a2)
    Y = 3.63 cm

    I1 = b1d1³/12 = 144 cm⁴


    I2 = b2d2³/12 = 26.67 cm⁴
    h1 = y1-Y h2 = Y-y2
    = 4.37 cm = 2.63 cm

    MI1 = I1+a1h12 MI2 = I2+ a2h22


    = 373.16 cm⁴ = 580.02 cm4
    Moment of inertia = MI1xn+MI2
    = 3565.3 cm⁴

    Section modulus available = 982.18 cm ³ > 30.42 cm ³ Hence OK
