Anchoring & base Plate design for CHS 168

The Critical ultimate design forces at the anchoring

Case-1
 Axial Force = 572.422 KN (compression!!)
Bending Moment 1 = 3706 KN-m
Bending Moment 2 = 385.1707 KN-m
Shear Force-1 = 11.5 KN-m
Shear Force-2 = 210.8562 KN-m
Proposing 4-M50 Gr. 8.8 bolt as per the scheme
Bolt Modulous = 16800.00
Maximum tension developed in the bolt = 315.07 KN
Resultant shear force = 211.2 KN
Maximum shear developed in the bolt = 17.60 KN

Case-2
Axial Tension Force = KN (Compression!!)
Bending Moment 1 = KN-m
Bending Moment 2 = KN-m
Shear Force-1 = KN-m
Shear Force-2 = KN-m
Proposing 4-M16 Gr. 4.6 bolt as per the scheme
Bolt Modulous = 300.00
Maximum tension developed in the bolt = 0.00 KN
Resultant shear force = 0.0 KN
Maximum shear developed in the bolt = 0.00 KN

Tension Capacity of M16 Gr. 8.8 Bolt = 30 KN > 315.07 KN

Shear Capacity of M16 Gr. 8.8 Bolt = 25 KN > 17.6 KN
Interaction Ratio = 11.21 <1.4, Safe
Minimum embedment length required = 2831.65 mm
Proposed Embedment length = 750.00 mm
(A straight portion of 600mm & bent portion of 150mm)
Base plate design

Maximum Bolt tension = 315.07 KN

Maximum offset of the bolt centre from the nearest stiffener plate / CHS
= 70.00 mm
Moment resisting width = 190 mm
Thickness required for te base plate = 48.38 mm

Proposing 50thk. MS Base plate with 35thk. Stiffener

Weld connection
For this anchoring arrangement, one stiffener plate has to carry the load of two bolts
Maximum Bolt tension per bolt = 315.07 KN

Hence, the critical load to be transferred to one stiffener plate

= 315.07 KN
Length of 6mm fillet weld required to carry this load
= 337.61 mm
Available length of weld on the base plate = 4398.8 mm SAFE
Available length of weld on the CHS post = 14000 mm SAFE

Height required for the 8mm thk. stiffener plate to carry this load through shear
= 191.0 mm
Height of stiffener plate = 100 mm SAFE
