Base Plate design in SCBF
Base Plate design in SCBF
(OP)
Hi All,
Section D2 6c says the base plates including their attachment to column needs to be designed for vertical components of required connection strength at the column base. Are they intending to say only the gusset to base plate connection needs to be designed for the strength of the brace connection? Or even the anchor rods (concrete failure) needs to be designed for the same?
Thanks

So, no, you cannot simply use overstrength - overstrength would be your minimum loading, with the required strengths almost certainly exceeding that significantly.
