Design of Compression Members ug ‘a pESIGN OF GUSSETED BASE 9 2007 specifies that the gusset pats, an pte bearing area, shal be sufficient to tak ca without exceeding specified strength, All ato following design procedure may be followed: gle cleats, stiffeners and fastenings etc., in combination € the loads, bending moments and reactions to the base the bearing surfaces shall be machined to ensure perfect ‘area of base plate = Factored Load 5 045 fy Assume Various members of gusset base. (a) Thickness of gusset plate is assumed as 16 mm, (b) Size of the gusset angle is assumed such that its vertical leg can accommodate two bolts in one vertical line. Corresponding to this leg the other leg is assumed in which one bolt can be provided. (©) Thickness of angle is kept approximately equal to the thickness of gusset plate. . Width of gusset base is kept such that it will just project outside the gusset angle and hence Area of plate length = Area of plate | oe width . When the end of the column is machined for complete bearing on the base plate, 50 percent of the load is assumed to be transferred by the bearing and 50 percent by the fastenings. When the ends of the column shaft and gusset plates are not faced for complete bearing, the fastenings connecting them to the base plate shall be designed to transmit all the forces to which the base is subjected. . The thickness of the base plate is computed by flexural strength at the critical sections. ign a gusseted base for a column ISHB 350 @ 710 N/m with two plates 450 mm x 20 mm carrying a factored load of 3600 KN.
