Base Plate w/ Large Strong-Axis Moment (AISC Design Guide #1, Section 3.4)
Load Set: Load Set 1
Load Combination: 1.4D
Base Plate Parameters:
B = 22 in, N = 22 in, f = 9.5 in, Pu = 140 K, eN = 10. in
For large moments, fpu = f fpn (See Support Bearing Capacity)
fpu = 2.21 Ksi
Check Base Plate Dimensions:

420.25 in^2 > 112.3 in^2

Base Plate area is adequate

Base plate with large moment
(Fig. 3.4.1 AISC Design Guide #1)

Calculate Bearing Length, Y:

= 2.9515 in
Base Plate Bending Demand: Tension Interface

= 2.21 Ksi * 22 in * 2.9515 in - 140 K = 3.501 K

Moment arm for tension anchor group, x = 3.4675 in
w = Effective width for tension anchor group, where the load distributes at 45 degree angles
w = 16.87 in
= 0.71959 ft-K/ft
Base Plate Bending Demand: Bearing Interface
Column Depth, d = 12.7 in
Column Width, b = 12.2 in
Depth Reduction Factor, a = 0.95 (sect 3.1.3)
Width Reduction Factor, g = 0.95 (sect 3.1.3)
= 4.9675 in
= 6.12 in
Mu(n) calculation is a crude attempt at including some 2-way
bending in the analysis. The approach is based on the note at
the end of section 3.4.2.

Figure shows bending lines of column and

illustrates base plate under strong axis bending.
Effective width shown by dashed lines.

= 2.21 Ksi * 6.12 in^2.0 / 2.0 = 41.387 ft-K/ft

Since Y < m
= 2.21 Ksi * 2.9515 in * (4.9675 in - 2.9515 in / 2.0) = 22.776 ft-K/ft
Mu(Bearing) = 41.387 ft-K/ft
Controlling Mu = max( 0.71959 ft-K/ft , 41.387 ft-K/ft) = 41.387 ft-K/ft
