Maximum pressure below base plate = p' = 2.94 MPa

Distance of critical section from the edge = lcx = ( L - d - 2.t )/2 = 139 mm

Ordinate of pressure at critical section = pc = p'. ( n - lcx ) / n = 1.08 MPa

Bending moment in critical section = BM = pc. lcx2/ 2 + ( p' - pc ). lcx2/ 3

= 22439.30 N-mm/mm

Allowable stress for plates in bending = fb = 0.75 fy = 187.5 MPa

Thickness of baseplate required = Th = 6. BM / ( 1.33 fb ) = 27 mm

Allowable stress in fillet weld = 110 MPa = 1.1 Mton/cm

Strength of weld betn. column & gusset = fw = 0.7 x w x 1.1 = 0.616 Mton/cm

Since there will be two welds to resist the force in gusset, length of weld required

= Fg / ( 2. fw ) = 29.98 cm

Height of gusset plate = Length of weld = 300 mm

Max. horizontal force carried by shear key ( Hs) = 1.5 H - 0.3 V = 0.987 Mton

Required area of contact between shear key and pedestal concrete :

Ac = Hs. 104 / c = 1974.00 mm2

Width of shear key = bs = B - 2 x 100 = 300 mm

Depth of shear key = ds = Ac / bs = 6 mm

Allowable shear stress in shear key = fs = 0.4 fy = 100 MPa

Thickness of shear key from shear consideration = Ths = Hs. 104 / ( fs. bs )

= 0 mm

Bending moment in the shear key = BMs = c. ds2/ 2 = 90 N-mm/mm

Thickness of shear key from moment consideration = Thm = 6. BMs / ( 1.33 fb )

= 1 mm

Depth / thickness ratio of shear key for deflection control = 2.0

Thus thickness of shear key reqd. for deflection control = ds / 2 = 3 mm

Provided size of shear key ( mm ) :

Width = 300 Depth = 50 Thkness = 25
