Moment at Baseplate (MOMENT):

Eccentricity (e):
= MOMENT *99996.40/ P
= 1479.55 *99996.40 / 493.84
= 2995.93 mm. > D/6 [Plate Uplift Condition]
a = (D - d) / 2
= (400.00 - 200.00 ) / 2
= 100.00 mm.
Modular Ratio Of Steel/Concrete (n):
= ES / EC
= 2074056 / 219499.77
= 9.45
F = 0.5 * d + z
= 0.5 * 200.00 + 70.00
= 170.00 mm.

K1 = 3.0 (e - 0.5*D)
= 3.0 (2995.93 - 0.5*400.00 )
= 8387.78
K2 = 6 * n * Ast / B * (F + e)
= 6 * 9.45 * 2.17 / 400.00 * (170.00 + 2995.93 )
= 973.96
K3 = -K2 * (0.5 * D + F)
= -973.96 * (0.5 * 400.00 + 170.00 )
= -360364.28
Solving For The Effective Bearing Length Using Iteration:
Y + K1 * Y + K2 * Y + K3 = 0
Y + 330.23 * Y + 150.96 * Y - 2199.08 = 0
Y = 59.80 mm.
NUM = (D / 2 - Y / 3 - e)

DENOM = (D / 2 - Y / 3 + F)
= (400.00 / 2 - 59.80 / 3 + 170.00 )

Total Bolt Tension Force (T):
= - P * NUM / DENOM
= - 493.84 * -2815.86 / 350.07
= 3972.38 Kgf
Overturning Moment Due To Bolt In Tension (Mt):
= T * (0.5 * D + F - Y) / 12
= 3972.38 * (0.5 * 400.00 + 170.00 - 59.80 ) / 12
= 1232.24 Kg-m.
Bearing Pressure (FC):
= 2 * (P + T) / (Y * B)
= 2 * (493.84 + 3972.38 ) / (59.80 * 400.00 )
= 37.34 Kg/cm2[ <= FCPRIME ( 210.92)]
Equivalent Bearing Pressure (f1):
= FC * (Y - a) / Y
= 37.34 * (59.80 - 100.00 ) / 59.80
= -25.10 Kg/cm2
Overturning Moment Due To Bearing Pressure (Mc):
= (a * B / 6.0) * (f1 + 2.0 * FC) / 12

= (100.00 * 400.00 / 6.0) * (-9067.54 + 2.0 * 37.34 ) / 12

= 330.56 Kg-m.
The Baseplate Required Thickness (TREQ):
= (6 * MAX(Mt,Mc) / (B * 1.5 * SBA))
= (6 * 1232.24 / (400.00 * 1573.50 ))
= 34.27 mm.
Required bolt area (ABREQM): per D. Moss
= T / STBA
= 3972.38 / 1223.00
= 3.2480 cm [ > Ast ( 2.17) --> FAILED]
Baseplate Lifting Moment (MBB):
= Rmleg + V * Length
= 4.66 + 1471.62 * 2145.00
= 3161.35 Kg-m.
Required Total Bolt Area per Leg (ABREQB): per H. Bednar
= (1 / STBA) * ((4 * MBB / (Nlegm * OD) ) - P)
= (1 / 1223.00 ) * ((4 * 3161.35 / (2 * 2116.00 ) ) - 493.84 )
= 2.0393 cm
Available Total Bolt Corr. Area per Leg (ABAVL):
= As * NBT
= 8.55 * 2.00
