Circular Base Plate Example
As an example, consider the circular base plate subject to the dead and wind loads shown
below. The outside diameter of the steel column pipe is 16 inches. Design and optimize the
base plate and the anchor rods per the AISC 360 and ACI 318 provisions.
Circular Base Plate Example Input
Enter the information given in the statement of the example. Go to the Geometry tab and
select Circular Base Plate type. Click on the Steel Database tab and select the column size from
the steel sections database. Enter the plate diameter as 22 inches, assuming a rod edge
distance of 1.5 inches. For now, let's assume that the concrete support is 2 inches larger than
the plate all around, therefore the support diameter is 26 inches.
Go to the Materials tab and enter f'c and rebars fy as 4 and 60 ksi respectively. Specify the
plate fy as 50 ksi, end mark the check box to force plate to remain elastic. This will ensure the
strain compatibility during the analysis, and the plane sections will remain plane after bending.
Finally, specify 12 anchor rods 1" diameter, F1554-36.
Use the Loads tab to enter the unfactored loads given in the statement of the problem. The
design method is LRFD. Finally, go to the Anchorage tab and specify 1 #5 anchor reinforcement
to avoid a breakout failure.

Circular Base Plate Example Output
The At-a-Glance tab shows a summary of the design for a quick overview of your work as you go. The
green check marks indicate that the checks passed. The Condensed tab shows a condensed set of
calculations with the most important information grouped by topic for a more in-depth check. The
Detailed tab shows a step-by step detailed set of calculations with exposed formulas and references to
the design code.
In this example, the maximum bearing stress is 2.5 ksi and the maximum anchor tension is 8,1 kips. Since
the controlling limit state was Side Face Blowout, increasing the support diameter to 28 inches also
increased the tension capacity. The required plate thickness is 1.77 inches, so either 1.75 or 2.0 inches
will work.
The anchor tension design ratio is 0.83, and the shear ratio is 0.33, giving a combined stress ratio of
0.94, therefore the design is acceptable. It can be shown that the anchor reinforcement cannot be
removed, otherwise the breakout failure will control the design. Please note that further optimization can
be done, either reducing the rod diameter, or increasing the support size. Here the designer plays an
important role in deciding if the design can be optimized further, as shown below.
