Concrete pier question
Concrete pier question
(OP)
I need to design a pier that holds a load of 26042 kN
I have gotten to the part where i have the dimensions which are 1300mm x 1300mm x 300mm for the plate. Now i need to design the pier, I am having trouble because i cannot figure out the amount of reinforcement that is needed and help would be greatly appreciated.

But using a 12 inch thick plate is a little out of the ordinary. If you need more bending capacity, you should add stiffeners to your flanges.
Blodgett, "Design of Welded Structures" gives some examples of stiffened base plates.
