? in solving base plate ex. prob from AISC 13ed
(OP)
Was working on an example problem on base plates from the collection of problems on a CD that came with the 13ed of the AISC.
Example J.7 Base plate bearing on concrete; after an initial guess at base plate area and dimension, the next step says: "Check base plate dimensions"
"Verify N greater than or equal to d + 2 and B greater than or equal to b(sub)f + 2."
This part of the prob references Table 14-2 but when I look at the table, table 14-2 (pg.14-21) lists information pertaining to "recommended max sizes for anchor rod holes in base plates>"
Feel free to call me a dunce if appropriate but I am not figuring out where it says that "N must be greater than or equal to d + 2..." etc etc.
Thanks for the help!

I don't know why the example references Table 14-2. That just guides you to what size hole you need for a given anchor rod diameter.
