Column Base Plate Design with & without Stiffener Plates

Fundamentals of Column Base Plate Design with & without Stiffener Plates with a Worked Example

The design of the base plates with stiffeners is still confusing for many engineers and there are not too many tools available for this design. In this course, you will learn the hand calculation process of base plate design with stiffener and understand the underlying theory. In this course, you will learn about: 1- The practical points of base plate design and stiffeners, the reason for using stiffener plates. 2- Cone failure and min embedment length and edge distance required for anchor bolts. 3- Different Stress distributions under the base plates and how do we check the base plate for each type. 4- How to check base plate thickness with and without stiffeners and how we can check the stiffeners. Finally, we will have a working example of a real-life design to design the base plate with and without stiffeners. By the end of this course, you will learn about the fundamental and detailed process of designing a base plate. THIS COURSE IS BENEFICIAL FOR: • Structural engineers • Civil engineers • Graduate engineers • University students
