Thank you sbisteel,
In response to 2), I understand that each plate has its own bearing/bending capacity that is calculated independently. I suppose a better question is: Is the applied loading shared equally between the two base plates, for the purposes of determining the required base plate...
Hello all,

My questions are:
1) Does AISC Design Guide 1 still apply in...
