Fb, Y, Vc
Three equations, three unknowns:
(Axial force in steel hold down bolts, active area
under base plate, aximum pressure under base plate)
1. Forces equilibrium
Y*Vc/2 Fb N = 0
Fb + N = Y*Vc*B/2
(1)
2. Bending moment equilibrium
Fb * f + (Fb + N) * (H/2 Y/3) N * e = 0
Fb = N * (H/2 Y/3 e)/(H/2 Y/3 + f)
(2a)
N = Fb * (H/2 Y/3 e)/(H/2 Y/3 + f)
(2)
3. Representing the elastic behaviour of the concrete
support and the steel holddown bolt:
a/b =
Hb/Hc =
(Vb / Es) / (Vc / Ec)
since
Es =
Vb / H s
Ec =
Vc / H c

From similar triangles
a/b =

N/(Ab*Vc*n) =
=>
Vc =
(H/2Y+f)/Y
=>
Fb * Y / (Ab * n *(H/2 Y + f))
(3)
From (1), (2) and (3)
Fb * (H/2 Y/3 e)/(H/2 Y/3 + b) + Fb =
(Fb * Y2 * B) / [2 * Ab * n *(H/2 Y + f)]
Solve for Y:
Y3 + 3 * (e H/2) * Y2 + [(6 * n * Ab)/B] * (f + e) * Y [(6 * n * Ab)/B] * (H/2 + f) * (f + e) = 0
or
Y3 + K1 * Y2 + K2 * Y + K3 = 0
where
K1 =
3 * (e H/2) =
K2 =
[(6 * n * Ab)/B] * (f + e) =
