WF Base Plate Design Based On AISC Manual 13th Edition (AISC 360-05)

This document provides an analysis and design summary for a base plate to support a W12x35 column with an axial load of 84.5 kips. It checks that the bearing pressure on the base plate does not exceed the allowable based on the concrete strength. It then determines values for m, n, n', X, and l according to the AISC manual to properly size and locate stiffener plates. The minimum required thickness of the 3/4 inch thick base plate is then calculated to be 0.73 inches based on the load and steel yield strength.
