TUTORIAL 3 ENG3104M

1. A column base connection is shown in Fig.1 carrying an axial factored load of

300kN and a factored moment of 200kNm.

Given that:
Compressive cylinder strength of concrete, fck = 40 N/mm2
Design strength of steel baseplate = 355 N/mm2

Column: 203 × 203 × 60 UC (S355)

Baseplate thickness available in mm
