fins at steel columns
fins at steel columns
(OP)
We have W-shape steel columns with heavy vertical loads on conventional spread footings. The base plate of the steel columns exceed two inches thick. So we want to add fins or stiffeners at the column base to reduce the thickness of the base plate. Do you have reference or details for how to design the fins?
Thanks.
Thanks.
