Column Base Design

This document summarizes the design of a column base plate according to BS5950. It provides details of the column section, material properties, loading, and performs calculations to design an effective base plate that meets the minimum requirements. The specified base plate size of 350mm x 350mm x 12.5mm thickness was evaluated and found to provide an effective area that is adequate for the applied loading. Shear transfer capacity between the base plate and concrete was also calculated to exceed the design shear force.

COLUMN BASE PLATE DESIGN (BS5950)


COLUMN BASE PLATE DESIGN (BS5950-1:2000)
TEDDS calculation version 1.0.08;

Column section details


Baseplate reference;
Column section;

I 305x305x96.9

Column depth;

D = 307.9 mm

Column breadth;

B = 305.3 mm

Flange thickness;

T = 15.4 mm

Web thickness;

t = 9.9 mm

Material details
Steel plate design strength;

pyp = 275 N/mm2

Characteristic strength of concrete;

fcu = 25 N/mm2

Loading details
Design axial compression in column (ULS);

Fc = 320.0 kN

Design shear force (ULS);

Fv = 20.0 kN

Calculate effective area of base plate


Pressure under base plate;

w = 0.6 fcu = 15.0 N/mm2

Required bearing area;

Areq = Fc / (0.6 fcu) = 213.3 cm2

c = 5.0 mm

Minimum recommended plate size;

Dp_min = D + 2 c = 317.9 mm
Bp_min = B + 2 c = 315.3 mm

Minimum acceptable plate thickness;

tp_min = c (3 w / pyp)0.5 = 2.0 mm

Specified plate size;

Dp = 350 mm
Bp = 350 mm

Specified plate thickness;

tp = 12.5 mm;
Warning - specified thickness less than section flange thickness

Recalculate c;

cactual = tp / (3 w / pyp)0.5 = 30.9 mm
