Checking Flexure @ Edge of Base Plates
Checking Flexure @ Edge of Base Plates
(OP)
Under what conditions do I need to manually check for flexure at the edge of base plate? When P is high? When -P is high? When anchor rods are located "outside" the col? All the time? Have the design examples provided in the SDG's (both 1st and 2nd ed) already considered this?

If you are talking about the "edge" of the plate where it meets the column, you always check the moment there - that is how you size the plate.

You need to look at AISC design guide 1 - Design of Column Base plates.
