Base Plate Design Used for Post-Installed Anchors
The design of a base plate is a misunderstood most of the time, particularly when we are discussing attachments for applications for post-installed anchoring. Here, we will give you a general idea of what base plate design actually means, and also provide you some more essential information. You can find a variety of software applications where you can use this design as a structural engineer. TYPICAL DESIGN The term “base plate” is mostly understood as a referencing a steel plate, which is placed beneath a column to spread the applied load uniformly to the concrete members. The plate is allowed to act as a cantilever beam which is fixed at the column’s edge. It is defined by the structural profile’s geometry. If a wide-flange part is made to be used as a column, the base plate design can be summarized in the following points — Select the length and width of the plate. Inspect the concrete bearing capacity by using the dimensions of the plate. Measure the thickness by using the i
