HSS steel column fixed base plate design

HSS steel column fixed base plate design

HSS steel column fixed base plate design

(OP)
any one can please provide the excel sheet for designing the HSS (Squre Hollow Section) steel column fixed base plate and anchor bolt design or any reference from code ?
is there any difference in design procedure between HSS fixed base plate and I section fixed base plate design ??
i have I section fixed Column base plate excel sheet can i use that for HSS base plate design ??

RE: HSS steel column fixed base plate design

The design of a fixed base HSS column base plate is very similar, but not necessarily identical to, a wide flange scenario. Base plate cantilever spans may differ, axial load distribution assumptions may change, different stiffener arrangements may make sense if stiffeners are required...

Consider posting your wide flange spreadsheet. That way, we can scan it for suitability with HSS.

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.

RE: HSS steel column fixed base plate design

If you can't do it by hand, using a spreadsheet to do it isn't a very good option.
Take a look through AISC design guide 1. The differences between base plates for wide flange shapes and tube steel are explained there. As KootK explained, it's primarily the base plate cantilever.

RE: HSS steel column fixed base plate design

I reviewed your spreadsheet and I believe that it would be applicable for an HSS column.

thx for your kind reply Kootk.
I only found the difference between HSS and wide flange column base plate design is yielding limit (m and n equation) in AISC design guide 1.
This design guide recommend the m = 0.95d and n=0.95 b for HSS column, remaining design procedure will be same as wide flange base plate design.
The only m and n value will be change in excel sheet other formulation will be same Am I correct please confirm?

Sounds about right to me
