Dears,
Please check the base plate connection in the attachments and advice me if that possible to use this connection with groove weld for flange, and how to check concrete strength in this case?
please advice if there are any recommendation for this connection

I wouldn't work this joint too hard. I don't like having portions of my base plate bearing area landing outside of the column reinforcing cage. Increased spall potential in my opinion.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
