Column Base Plate Calculation

The Column Base Plate Designer application is designed to calculation support gravity loads, bending moments and shear forces. The couple of forces of bearing on the concrete and tension in anchor bolts resists to the external bending moment resulted by fixing the column base in foundation.

For simplicity, compute the stresses across a horizontal plane through the base plate by treating this as the cross section of a reinforced-concrete beam, the anchor bolt on the tension side acting as the reinforcing steel. The effects of initial tension in the bolts are disregarded. The column bases are usually assumed to be subject to axial compression and shear only.
