There is two main design requirements: to design against crushing of the concrete footing by calculation of the footing''s allowable bearing strength, and to determine the minimum base plate

For most column base plates bearing directly on a con­ crete foundation, the concrete dimension is much greater than the base plate dimension, and it is reasonable to assume that the ratio > 2.

The results show that: (1) according to the general requirements of 4 rows and 5 columns fixed photovoltaic support, the typical permanent load of the PV support is 4679.4 N,

For a given column, the savings in base plate thickness is more pronounced in the lower load range. In this load range the design is controlled by the bending stress of the plate inside the column footprint (

The plate thickness is then determined by treating that portion of the plate that projects beyond the "effective rectangle" as an inverted cantilever and solving for the required thickness.

To provide temporary support to the column during steel erection by allowing the column (in combination with anchor bolts) to act temporarily as a vertical cantilever. The thickness of base plates varies from

8.3.2 Design of base plate for thickness (Limit State Method) The required plate thickness, treg''d, is to be determined from the limit state of yield line formation along the most severely stressed section.
