Procedure 4-12 Design of Base Plates for Legs

Axial load plus bending, load condition 1, full compression, uplift, e Dj. (See Eigure 4-59) Eccentricity  

Axial loading only, no moment. Angle legs  

By trial and error, determine Y, effective bearing length, utilizing factors Ki 3. 

By successive approximations, determine distance Y. Substitute K1.3 into the following equation and assume an initial value of Y = % A as a first trial.
