i left all my books at my house.. anyhow, am searching the internet for a guide to design embedment length with welded plate at the bottom.. also designing the plate thickness and width

The plan dimensions are sized to ensure concrete pullout doesn't happen. Unless you have an unusual condition, I would just use a nut tack welded to the rod. Unless you have a sea of concrete on all sides and a large embedment, pullout is not likely to control your design.
If you just want to know. Size the plate to ensure the factored bearing stress is less than 8f'c*phi, where phi is .65 (I think).

In that case your embedment depth will be controlled by the depth needed for the development of a standard hook in tension (ldh), where ldh is calculated from the base of the anchor rod.
ACI 318-08 Appendix D has a good picture showing this.
