A W10x112 column rest on a base plate and a concrete pedestal
measuring 300 mm x 300 mm. The pedestal and base plate are
identical in size.
Steel yield strength Fy = 248MPa
Column effective length Le = 2.1 m
For concrete strength f'c = 12 MPa
Use th ASD. (Hint: Le equal = kL).
Identify the following.
a. Allowable axial capacity of the column in kN?
b. Allowable bearing capacity of the pedestal in kN?
c. Minimum required thickness of the base plate rounded off to
nearest safe 5 mm?
