Wall Thickness, t = 2.3 mm 0.09 in
Efective Area of Base Plate, Aeff = 9230.345 mm2 [pi()(D-t)(t+2c); c=40mm]

Take Width of base plate, W b = 97 mm 3.82 in

and Length of base plate, Lb= 97 mm 3.82 in

Thickness of Foundation, = 2000 mm 80 in

SOLUTION:
According to column size:
Required width of the footing, Wf = 147 mm 5.79 in [160+35*2]
Required length of the footing, Lf = 167 mm 6.57 in [16035*2]
Area of concrete footing, A f = Wf x Lf = 24549 mm2 38.1 sq. in

Area of chosen base plate, A b = Wb x L b = 9409 mm2 14.6 sq. in

Required area of base plate, A1 = (P/0.35fc')2/Af = 0.26 sq. in
'
Required area of base plate, A2 = P/0.7fc = 1.58 sq. in

Required minimum area of base plate, Ar = 1.58 sq. in < 14.58 sq. in

Hence, Designed area of base plate, A = 14.58 sq. in Chosen base plate size OK

Size of Bse Plate, Lb x W b = SQ 4" X 4" = SQ 100 X 100

Actual bearing stress, f p = P/A = 0.38 ksi

m = (Lb-0.95d)/2 = 1.2 in
n = (Wb-0.8d)/2 = 1.31 in

Thickness, t1 = 2m f p/Fy = 0.19 in

Thickness, t2 = 2n f p/Fy = 0.21 in

Require thickness of base plate, t = 0.21 in 5 mm

Hence, Designed base plate thickness, t b = 0.29 in 6 mm (1 mm added for Surface Protection)

Loads on Buildings and Structures Chapter 2

2.2 DEAD LOADS

2.2.1 General
The minimum design dead load for buildings and portions thereof shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of this Section. In addition, design of the overall structure and its primary load-resisting systems shall
conform to the general design provisions given in Chapter 1.
2.2.2 Definition
Dead Load is the vertical load due to the weight of permanent structural and non-structural components and
attachments of a building such as walls, floors, ceilings, permanent partitions and fixed service equipment etc.
2.2.3 Assessment of Dead Load
Dead load for a structural member shall be assessed based on the forces due to:
·� weight of the member itself,
·� weight of all materials of construction incorporated into the building to be supported permanently by the
member,
·� weight of permanent partitions,
·� weight of fixed service equipment, and
·� net effect of prestressing.
2.2.4 Weight of Materials and Constructions
In estimating dead loads, the actual weights of materials and constructions shall be used, provided that in the
absence of definite information, the weights given in Tables 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 shall be assumed for the purposes of
design.

• Insufficient allowance for eccentric loading due to
placement sequences;
• Failure to investigate bearing stresses in members in
contact with shores or struts;
• Failure to provide proper lateral bracing or lacing of
shoring;
• Failure to investigate the slenderness ratio of compres-
sion members;
• Inadequate provisions to tie corners of intersecting
cantilevered forms together;
• Failure to account for loads imposed on form hardware
anchorages during closure of form panel gaps when
aligning formwork; and
• Failure to account for elastic shortening during post-
tensioning.
2.1.5 Formwork drawings and calculations—Before
constructing forms, the formwork engineer/contractor may
be required to submit detailed drawings, design calculations,
or both of proposed formwork for review and approval by
the engineer/architect or approving agency. If such drawings
are not approved by the engineer/architect or approving
agency, the formwork engineer/contractor should make such
changes as may be required before the start of construction
of the formwork.
The review, approval, or both of the formwork drawings
does not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for
adequately constructing and maintaining the forms so that
they will function properly. If reviewed by persons other
than those employed by the contractor, the review or
approval indicates that no exception is taken by the reviewer
to the assumed design loadings in combination with design
stresses shown; the proposed construction methods; the
placement rates, equipment, and sequences; the proposed
form materials; and the overall scheme of formwork. All
major design values and loading conditions should be shown
on formwork drawings. These include assumed values of
live load; the compressive strength of concrete for formwork
removal and for application of construction loads; rate of
placement, minimum temperature, height, and drop of
concrete; weight of moving equipment that can be operated
on formwork; foundation pressure; design stresses; camber
diagrams; and other pertinent information, if applicable.
In addition to specifying types of materials, sizes, lengths,
and connection details, formwork drawings should provide
for applicable details, such as:
• Procedures, sequence, and criteria for removal of
forms, shores, and reshores;
• Design allowance for construction loads on new slabs
when such allowance will affect the development of shor-
ing, reshoring schemes, or both (refer to Sections 2.5 and
3.8 for shoring and reshoring of multistory structures);
• Anchors, form ties, shores, lateral bracing, and horizontal
lacing;
• Field adjustment of forms;
• Waterstops, keyways, and inserts;
• Working scaffolds and runways;
• Weepholes or vibrator holes, where required;
• Screeds and grade strips;
1
APPENDIX-C
• Location of external vibrator mountings;
• Crush plates or wrecking plates where stripping can
damage concrete;
• Removal of spreaders or temporary blocking;
• Cleanout holes and inspection openings;
• Construction joints, contraction joints, and expansion
joints in accordance with contract documents (also
refer to ACI 301);
• Sequence of concrete placement and minimum elapsed
time between adjacent placements;
• Chamfer strips or grade strips for exposed corners and
construction joints;
• Camber;
• Mudsills or other foundation provisions for formwork;
• Special provisions, such as safety, fire, drainage, and
protection from ice and debris at water crossings;
• Formwork coatings;
• Notes to formwork erector showing size and location of
conduits and pipes projecting through formwork; and
• Temporary openings or attachments for climbing crane
or other material handling equipment.
2.2—Loads
2.2.1 Vertical loads—Vertical loads consist of dead and
live loads. The weight of formwork plus the weight of the
reinforcement and freshly placed concrete is dead load. The
live load includes the weight of the workers, equipment,
material storage, runways, and impact.
Vertical loads assumed for shoring and reshoring design
for multistory construction should include all loads trans-
mitted from the floors above as dictated by the proposed
construction schedule. Refer to Section 2.5.
The formwork should be designed for a live load of not
less than 50 lb/ft2 (2.4 kPa) of horizontal projection. When
motorized carts are used, the live load should not be less than
75 lb/ft2 (3.6 kPa).
The design load for combined dead and live loads should
not be less than 100 lb/ft2 (4.8 kPa) or 125 lb/ft2 (6.0 kPa) if
motorized carts are used.
2.2.2 Lateral pressure of concrete—Unless the conditions
of Section 2.2.2.1 or 2.2.2.2 are met, formwork should be
designed for the lateral pressure of the newly placed concrete
given in Eq. (2.1a) or (2.1b). Minimum values given for
other pressure formulas do not apply to Eq. (2.1a) and (2.1b).
p = wh (lb/ft2) (2.1a)
p = ρgh (kPa) (2.1b)
where
p = lateral pressure, lb/ft2 (kPa);
w = unit weight of concrete, lb/ft3;
ρ = density of concrete, kg/m3;
g = gravitational constant, 9.81 N/kg; and
h = depth of fluid or plastic concrete from top of place-
ment to point of consideration in form, ft (m).
The set characteristics of a mixture should be understood,
and using the rate of placement, the level of fluid concrete

is left in cold water between these smaller periods.
These test pieces shall then be removed from the boiling

to the grain direction of the face veneers, and
c) Sum of the tensile strength in both directions
shall be not less than 84.5 N/mm2.
If the plywood contains scarf joints, half the specimen
subjected to testing shall contain the joint.
9.1.5 Mycological Test
