Moment Base Plate w/ Tension 3

[Galambos]

does anyone know if a moment base plate with tension is taboo? my thought is to use a six bolt pattern and consider the two middle bolts taking all tension and the outer fiber bolts taking the flexural tension. thoughts, please?

MrMikee, hope it helps. These single poles have lots of ground line moments and not much shear and axial loads.

"If the base plate has moment and uplift, more than likely it will bear on the concrete at one side of the base plate."

Indeed. You would need a lot of uplift to eliminate the bending tension.

oops, I meant the bending compression
