Column to base plate load transfer
Column to base plate load transfer
(OP)
I have a completed model of a steel structure. I am applying lateral seismic load combinations with system overstrength to some of the columns in this structure. For design of the base plates, should I bring in the reactions from the overstrength load combinations or the regular load combinations?

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.
