Column Size 305 x 305 x 137

Base Plate Size 600 600 50


fy = 355
fu = 410
fck = 30
Check Resistance Table
NEd = 4300 kN
VEd = 100 kN

Resistance give > N Ed

Check 1: Required Area


Ap ≥ Areq
Ap = hp x bp
= 360000 mm2
Design compressive strength of concrete:
fcd = αcc x fck / γc
= 17 N/mm2

fjd = αßjfcd

Assuming α = 1.5 ßj = 0.67


fjd = 17 N/mm2

Area required:
Areq = Ned / fjd
= 252941 mm2
Ap = 360000 > 252941 OK!

Check 2: Effective Area


Basic requirement: Aeff = Areq
To calculate the effective area, assume first that there is no overlap
2
Aeff = 4c + c Pcol + Acol
Column perimeter Pcol = 1820 mm
Area of column Acol = 17400 mm2
2
Aeff = 4c + 1820c + 17400 = 252941 (Areq)
c = 105 mm

To check that there is no overlap c has to be less than half the depth between flanges:
h-2tf / 2 = 138.55 mm > 105 mm
Therefore, the assumption that there is no overlap is correct
To check that the effective area fits on the base plate:
h + 2c = 320.5 + 2 x 105 = 530.5 mm <
b + 2c = 309.2 + 2 x 105 = 519.2 mm <
Therefore the calculated value of c is valid
Check 3: Plate thickness
tp,min = c √[3f jdγMo/fyp]
Yield strength of the 50mm plate, f yp = 255 N/mm2
tp,min = 47 mm

Check 4: Welds
Basic requirement: V Ed ≤ Fw,Rd lw,eff
Fw,Rd = fvw,da = [ (fu/√3) / (ßwγM2) ] a
= 1248 N/mm
lw,eff = 2 (l-2s)
= 168 mm
Fw,Rd x lw,eff = 210 kN
VEd = 100 < 210 kN OK!
600 mm
600 mm
