Hi all
I am currently working on some projects however the designer prefers to use steel bearing plates rather then concrete padstones to rest steel beams onto
Does anyone have any experience in determining the depth of these plates?
I have found this online:
However, this assumes a 100% load distribution through the steel plate regardless of depth and the depth is calculated from the plates elastic modulus.
I know there is an ASCE design method however I cannot get access to this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
