BASEPLT9
is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of
analysis of steel column base plates. Specifically, wide flange column
base plates may be subjected to axial loads (compression or tension),
with or without major-axis column bending, plus major-axis shear. Base
plate bearing pressure is checked as well as bolt tension, if
applicable. If shear is present, bolt shear as well as interaction of
bolt tension and shear, if applicable, are calculated. Finally, the
required base plate thickness is calculated. There is a separate
worksheet for base plate shear lug design, when shear load is high and
cannot be effectively handled by bolts.
This program is a workbook consisting of four (4) worksheets, described as follows:
