Hi All,
Thank you for your views and suggestions for the subject query. I could able to discuss these views with my designer and convince him to go with the traditional baseplate without any column downsizing.
Hi,
The designer is justifing this as an engineering solution to a practical problem and if we connect this 610 UB directly to the foundation with a full baseplate, it will attract a bending moment, and we will need to design the connection and the foundation to resist the full design bending...
Hi,
Thanks for your response. I am a Structural engineer and working for a material handling company. We have given this design (Silo Structure) to an external structural consultancy and I required to review and give my comments on the design. As I said, we havent received any calculations yet...
Hi,
I am checking a baseplate drawing where the column is stepped down in size at the baseplate connection (image attached) to avoid the requirement for a large moment connection and many bolts.
I have not received calculations yet. The steel structure is subjected to seismic and wind loading...
