effect of stiffeners in decreasing base plate thickness
effect of stiffeners in decreasing base plate thickness
(OP)
hi guys,
i seems logic that using stiffeners in base plate will decreasing the base plate thickness ,however i can't find any reference or guide to calculate the stiffener effects,
aisc design guide for base plate shows the rigid cantilever method for base plate design without stiffeners .
what i thinking is by adding stiffener in bearing side of base plate i can calculate it's inertia and adding it to the base plate and divide the moment coming from bearing stress over the section modulus for whole section (base plate with stiffener )then i can got smaller thickness
but in tension side how will be it's effect
i hope to find any advice here
thanks

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.
