6.1.5(1) Bearing Strength of Sole Plates

Design Comp. Load Nd 8.91 kN
Effective Contact Area Aef = (2.b).d 7600 mm2
Design Bearing Stress σc,90,d = Nd/Aef 1.17 N/mm2
Design Bearing Strength fc,90,d = kmod.kc,90.fc,90,k/γm 1.52 N/mm2

Bearing Stress is less than Bearing Strength

Therefore, C16 Sole Plates will meet ULS Bearing Compression Strength of EC5
