Column - Foundation Connection (Stiffened Base Plate) Design

Column-Foundation Connection or Stiffened Base Plate Connection is formed by connecting the base plate welded to the steel column and anchored to the concrete foundation (column). Stiffened base plate design is made automatically according to the Design, Calculation and Construction Principles of Steel Structures (ÇYTHYEDY) (GKT and YDKT) and AISC 360-16 (ASD and LRFD) regulations. In the stiffened base plate connection calculation, bolt, weld and plate controls, geometry controls and strength controls are made automatically in accordance with the steel connection type.

In the calculation of the stiffened base plate connection, the horizontal and vertical bolt distances and the distance between the bolts are controlled under the geometry control. In the strength control, base plate thickness, anchor pulling breakage, anchor rod peeling, anchor rod shearing, plate bolt hole controls are made.
