Goneral Colurnn bases should be of sufficient size, stiffness and strength to transmit the axial load, bending moments and shear forces in columns to their foundations or other support without exceeding the load carrying capacity ot such supports ‘The nominal bearing pressure between the baseplate and the support may be determined on the basis of # linear distribution of pressure. For conerete foundations the bearing strength may be taken as U.4f. where fay 16 the characteristic concrete cube strength at 28 days. Baseplates may be designed either by the empirical method given in 4.13.2 oF by other rational mean ‘The connection of the column to the baseplate should comply with 4.13.3.
