CIRCULAR BASE PLATES WITH LARGE ECCENTRIC LOADS

Circular base plates are commonly used for pipe columns, such as pylons in cable-stayed bridges, lighting poles, and electric power line posts. Although the explicit solutions for rectangular base plates can be found in many textbooks and AISC design procedures for base plates, a design procedure for circular base plates has not been documented. In this paper, 2 equilibrium equations are presented for circular base plates with large eccentric loads. Since these two equations cannot be solved explicitly, an iteration approach is used to solve them.
