Question

A 370mm x 450mm base plate is used to transmit is load from a W31x79 steel column to a 520mm x 600mm concrete pedestal. 

Properties of W31x79

d = 306mm

bf = 254mm

A = 10100mm2

For steel: Fy 248MPa

For concrete: fc' = 21Mpa 

 

It is suggested that the maximum moment for the base plate be computed at distances approximately 0.80bf and 0.95d. The allowable bending for the base plate is taken as 0.75Fy.

 

a) Find the allowable bearing pressure on the concrete.

b) What is the allowable axial load for the column without exceeding the allowable bearing stress of the concrete pedestal?

c) What is the required thickness of the base plate?
