Tedds Calculation Version 1.0.04: I I I 1 I I 2

This document summarizes the design of a steel base plate to support a column with an 89x89x5 SHS cross-section. It defines the geometry and material properties of the base plate and concrete foundation. It then calculates the effective area of concrete support, required strength of the base plate, and design strengths of both the concrete foundation and steel base plate to support an axial load of 70kN on the column. It determines that the design capacity of the steel base plate of 157kN is sufficient to support the load.

In accordance with AS 4100-1998


Tedds calculation version 1.0.04

Geometry & material properties


Column section; 89x89x5 SHS
Column end prepared; For full contact
Width of base plate; bi = 300 mm
Depth of base plate; di = 300 mm
Thickness of base plate; ti = 10 mm
Area of base plate; A1 = bi  di = 90000 mm2
Edge distance (as per figure); a1 = (di - 0.95  d) / 2 = 108 mm
a2 = (bi - 0.95  b) / 2 = 108 mm
Maximum distance of a1 and a2; am = max (a1, a2) = 108 mm
Concrete dimensions (nearest edges); xce = 150 mm
yce = 150 mm
Characteristic compressive strength of concrete; f’c = 32 MPa
Grade of steel base plate; Not taken from AS4100-1998 Table 2.1
Yield stress of base plate; fyi = 450 MPa
Effective area of concrete support; A2 = 4  (yce  xce)= 90000 mm2
Strength reduction factor;  = 0.6
Design axial compression force; Nc = 70 kN
AH = max(Nc / (  0.9  f'c   (A2 / ( b  d))), Nc / (  1.8
 f'c))
AH = 2025 mm2
Design strength of concrete (AS 3600, Sect 12.6)
Design strength of concrete foundation; Nc = min (A1    0.9  f’c   (A2 / A1), A1    1.8  f’c)
= 1555 kN
Design strength of steel base plate (AS 4100, Sect 6.1)
a3 = (2 (d + b) -  (4  (d + b)2 - 16  AH)) / 8 = 6 mm
Design strength of base plate (Sect 6.2); Ns = min (0.9  fyi  ti2  A1 / (2 am2), 0.9  fyi  ti2  AH /
(2 a32))
Ns = 157 kN
Design capacity of steel base plate; Ndes = min (Nc, Ns) = 157 kN
PASS - Axial force carrying capacity of plate provided is adequate
