Problem 1
Figure 1.1 – RISABase Design Example Information
The following calculations outline and verify the baseplate and anchor bolt design for a W14x99
column with axial, shear and moment forces. The column bears on an ASTM A36 24”x24”x2 ¼” base
plate. The base plate is connected to a 36” x 36” concrete pedestal with f’c= 4 ksi with 1‐1/2” Dia.
F1554‐36 anchor bolts. The steel calculations are performed per the AISC 360‐05 (13th Edition)
LRFD. The concrete calculations are performed per the ACI 318‐05 Appendix D. The applied
forces/stresses are not going to be derived for this example.
