Column base in case of tension

Model implemented in MatrixTools® for the base plate calculation in case of tension:

Base plate calculation in case of tension

Fig 1. Base plate model if T-stub is in tension (Wald, F.; Sokol, Z.; Jaspart, J. P. "Base plate in bending and anchor bolts in tension")

 

This model corresponds to the assumptions of EN 1992-1-8:2005 chapter 6.2.6.11. Prying force is not taken into account.

a)T-stub without prying force          b)T-stub with prying force
