A bearing plate is to be designed for a W21x62, A36 steel beam that will sit on a reinforced concrete wall (f'c = 21 MPa) 200 mm thick.  The bearing plate material has Fy = 345 MPa.  The end reactions are a service dead load of 150 kN and live load of 300 kN.  Determine the following using ASD:

1.  Required minimum width and thickness of the bearing plate calculated assuming it is positioned at the center of the concrete wall .  Use length N = 150 mm. B = [B] mm.  Round up by 10 mm or 25 mm.

Answer: 325

2.  Required thickness of the bearing plate if B = 300 mm, N = 200 mm.  t = [t] mm.  Round up to the nearest whole number.
