modeling stiffeners on base plate
(OP)
Does anyone know of any software, literature, etc. that provides information on modeling stiffeners on base plate? There is a 2" gap between the bottom of the base plate and top of concrete. Any suggestion/comments is appreciated.

As far as the gap goes: that would be a cantilever from the top of concrete to the bottom of the baseplate (assuming you are talking about transferring the shear load from the column into the concrete). Sometimes the bending is too much for the anchor rods and people have to use a shear lug or bigger rods.

There are some design examples about design of stiffeners for end plate moment connections AISC design guide 4 and 16, I believe. Essentially just looking at the b/t ratio of the stiffener and making sure it is not prone to local buckling.
