Dear Engineers,
For lug types with a bottom plate and no continuous rings (Simple geometry with no gussets and gusseted geometry with top plate in Lug Type), enter the distance between gussets plus two times the gusset plate thickness.

For lug types with continuous top and bottom rings (Gusseted geometry with continuous top encirclement ring in Lug Type), enter the length of the bottom plate located on a support:

My question is if I am having continuous support and whole base-ring is supported by bottom concrete instead of the support beam as mentioned in attached picture how to evaluate the length of LPL as mentioned.


Best Regards,
