The base plate plays a vital role in safely transferring loads from the steel column to the concrete foundation. The design is based on permissible stresses, ensuring that stresses in steel and concrete remain within allowable limits under service loads.
In India, base plates designed using WSM mainly follow:
-
IS 800:1984 – Code of Practice for General Construction in Steel (Working Stress Method)
-
IS 456:2000 – Plain and Reinforced Concrete (for concrete bearing)
This article explains the complete base plate design procedure as per IS Code (WSM) with step-by-step method and formulas.
