Pinned Base Plate Design

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Bolts are designed for tension only. Shear key is provided to resist the shear. Shear resistance by
grout is considered while designing for shear key. Bolts are anchored in concrete pedestal. Pullout
strength from concrete is considered while arriving at length of the anchor bolt. Bolt lengths are shown
in TR Document no . 30.99.75.1610.( Anchor bolt & Fixings).Full strength of bolt is considered while
checking thickness of base plate in tension.

CHECK FOR TENSION CAPACITY OF HOLDING DOWN BOLTS

Tension in each bolt = 41 kN

Tension capacity ,Pt = 68 kN Bolts are safe in Tension
Pt = 0 .8 p t A t
(Clause. 6.3.4.2 BS5950-1:2000)
where:
Pt = tension capacity in holding down bolts
pt = tension strength of bolt (clause. 6.3.4.2 BS5950-1:2000 pp.138)
At = tensile stress area specified in appropriate bolt standard
CHECK FOR BEARING STRESS ON CONCRETE

Characteristic cube strength of concrete, fcu = 40 N/sq.mm.

Bearing strength of concrete, 0.6fcu (clause 4.13.1 of BS 5950-1:2000) = 24 N/sq.mm.
Bearing stress on to the concrete = Fc/(Area provided ) = 2.9 N/sq.mm
Area of base plate provided = 184800 sq.mm. Safe in Bearing on Pedestal
Area of base plate required = 22000 sq.mm.

CHECK FOR THICKNESS OF BASE PLATE IN COMPRESSION

Effective area

For axial forces applied concentrically to the base plate, the thickness of the baseplate should not be
less than tp given by

[
t p = c 3w/ pyp ]
0.5
= 1 mm. (clause 4.13.2.2. of BS 5950-1:2000)
where
c is the larget perpendicular distance from the edge of effective portion of the baseplate to
the face of the column cross section , as shown in the figure above = 3 mm.
p yp is the design strength of the base plate (Table 9 BS 5950-1:2000) = 265 N/sq.mm.
T is the flange thickness(or maximum thickness of the column;
w is the pressure undere the baseplate, based on an assumed uniform distribution of
pressure through out the effective portion = 24 N/sq.mm.

Effective area in mm = 2 * { (2c+b) (2c+t) } + { (2c+s) * [ h - 2 * (c+t) ] }

= (after 22000
solving for c by equating with area provided)

CHECK FOR THICKNESS OF BASE PLATE IN TENSION

Tension capacity of the holding down bolt used,Pt = 68 kN

df = 45 mm. should not be less than 36 (Clause 6.2.2 of BS 5950-1:2000)
dw = 70 mm. should not be less than 36 (Clause 6.2.2 of BS 5950-1:2000)
Bending moment about flange ,M = Pt x df = 3070 kN-mm.
Thickness of the base plate with M about flange= √( (6xM)/(pyp x(b/2)) = 19 mm.
Bending moment about web ,M = 2 x Pt x dw = 9462 kN-mm.
Thickness of the base plate with M about web = √( (6xM)/(pyp xh)) = 25 mm.
Provide baseplate thickness = 25 mm.
CHECK FOR WELDING

Design strength of the weld = 220 N/sq.mm. (Table 37 of BS5950-1:2000)

Weld size = 8 mm. (Table 5.8 of AWS D 1.1)
Throat thickness for the fillet weld = 6 mm. (Clause 6.8.7.1 of BS 5950-1:2000)
Shear force is acting through CG of the weld
Hence shear capacity of the weld = weld length x throat thickness of the weld x design strength
