"BASEPLT9" --- STEEL COLUMN BASE PLATE ANALYSIS

Program Description
"BASEPLT9" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analsis of steel column !ase
plates" Specificall# wide flange column !ase plates ma !e su!$ected to axial loads %compression or tension&#
with or without ma$or-axis column !ending# plus ma$or-axis shear" Base plate !earing pressure is chec'ed as
well as !olt tension# if applica!le" (f shear is present# !olt shear as well as interaction of !olt tension and shear#
if applica!le# are calculated" )inall# the re*uired !ase plate thic'ness is calculated" There is a separate
wor'sheet for !ase plate shear lug design# when shear load is high and cannot !e effecti+el handled ! !olts"
This program is a wor'!oo' consisting of four %,& wor'sheets# descri!ed as follows-

1" This program uses a "cu!ic e*uation" method of solution for column !ase plates su!$ected to axial
compression or tension load with ma$or axis column !ending as presented in the reference-
".esign of 4elded Structures" - ! 5mer 4" Blodgett %6ames )" Lincoln Arc 4elding )oundation&
7" )or interaction of anchor !olt tension and shear# this program follows the article-
".esign Aid- Anchor Bolt (nteraction of Shear and Tension Loads"# ! Mario 8" Scacco
A(S0 Engineering 6ournal# ,th 9uarter - /991"
," :ser has option to ta'e out some of the total shear though friction !etween column !ase and grout !ased
on column dead load and coefficient of friction# thus reducing amount of shear to !e ta'en ! anchor !olts"
3" This program uses the data!ase of mem!er dimensions and section properties from the "A(S0 Shapes
.ata!ase"# ;ersion 7"< %1<</& as well as the A(S0 9th Edition %AS.& Manual %/9=9&"
>" This program assumes that the !ase plate is sufficientl rigid to assume linear distri!ution of load to the
!ase plate and?or anchor !olts" %8ote- ade*uate !ase plate rigidit is most li'el assured if the distance
from the face of the column to the edge of the !ase plate is @A ,Btp" See "Ceneral Anchorage to 0oncrete"#
T;A 0i+il .esign Standard .S-0/"D"/ %2e+" /9=,&# page 13"&
D" Additional assumptions used in this program are as follows-
a" The column is centered on the !ase plate in !oth directions"
!" Axial column load# EPE# can !e A < for the case with moment"
c" The minimum area of concrete support is- A1%min& A 8BB"
d" )or a !ase plate supported on a sla! or mat# use A1 A ,B%8BB&"
e" Two %1& total rows of anchor !olts are allowed# one row outside of each column flange"
f" There must !e an e*ual num!er of anchor !olts in each of the two %1& rows"
=" )or cases with anchor !olt tension and !ase plate !earing# this program calculates the !ending moment in
the !ase plate at two locations" 5ne# at the column flange in compression using the !earing pressure
distri!ution# and the other at the column flange in tension using the tension in one !olt distri!uted o+er an
assumed width effecti+e plate width !ased on edge distances and !olt spacing" At !oth locations# the
moment and resulting !ase plate thic'ness are calculated using a "cantile+er" length e*ual to the calculated
"m" distance from the A(S0 code" Then# the larger of the two calculated thic'ness +alues is used for the
re*uired !ase plate thic'ness" %8ote- this program assumes that the anchor !olts are not located in plan
significantl !eond the ends of the column flange# so that corner-tpe plate !ending does not control"&
9" The "Shear Lug" wor'sheet follows the A(S0 "Steel .esign Cuide Series FD - (ndustrial Buildings - 2oofs to
