Base Plate & Bolt Design

The document provides calculations to design a base plate and bolts for a 168.28 mm thick pipe subjected to axial and shear forces. It calculates the required plate size and thickness to resist the forces based on allowable bearing stress. It also checks the capacity of four 25 mm diameter A490X bolts in shear, bearing and tension to resist the forces, finding the design adequate based on allowable stresses and capacities in design codes.

For checking thickness of plate, use the greater of m and n.

C= 14.80 in
B= 13.39 in
Actual Bearing Pressure, Fp = P/CB =12.16/14.8*13.39 0.06136 ksi
Determine m and n from figure above;
n= 2.23 in
m = 13.39 - (0.8 * 6.625)/2= 4.045 in
since m > n;
Plate Thickness, tp = m√ Fp/0.25Fy = 4.75√0.061/0.25*36 0.39 in
Plate thickness of 0.39 in = 9.91 mm is required
Provide 25 mm thick plate = 0.984 in 0.984 in
Plate 340 mm x 377 mm x 25 mm thick is adequate

BOLTS
Check for Shear Capacity
Assume 4 No of A490X bolts, 25 mm dia = 1 in
Total Shear Force at Node W = 114.59 kips

AISC 9th Ed Table 1- Shear per bolt = 114.59/4 = 28.65 kips

28.65 kips < 31.40 kips Bolt Shear Stress OK Shear OK

Check Bearing Capacity

AISC 9th Ed Edge distance, lv = 1 1/4 in use (45 mm)


(Table 1-F, 1-E) At fu = 65 ksi, coefficient is 78.0 kips/inch of thickness for 4 bolts.
