Lancez le logiciel en cliquant Conception de plaques de base du Plate-forme ou de ici. Start by selecting a design code, selecting between Pinned and Fixed support, and choosing a starting design template. If designing with Eurocode, also select the National Annex to be used.
You may use the free Base Plate Calculator alongside this documentation as you build your first base plate design.
Détails Onglet
Define project information and configure settings.
- Définir les unités du projet. AISC can choose between metric and imperial. Other design codes are defaulted to metric. Switching project units will convert all measurements of length, force, and forces.
- Switch between Pinned and Fixed. Pinned is used for Axial and/or Shear loads only, while Fixed is used for designs with moment loads. Il est obligatoire to provide moment load input if using Fixed.
- Entrez les détails du projet: nom du projet, Compagnie, Designer, ID de projet, Client, et notes. These details appear in the calculation report and in the detail drawing.
- Configure more settings under Réglages avancés.
- Aussi, switching to another design code is available on this tab. It is recommended not to do this half-way through the design as it will reset all progress.
Réglages avancés
Set settings specific to the project.
- Set Resistance Factors (AISC, CSA), Reduction Factors (AS) or Partial Factors (EN) dans le Les facteurs & Other Inputs Tab. Also configure additional input values needed in the calculations. The available settings are different for each design code.
- Set assumptions for design in the Design Tab. Changes to these require guidance from a suitably qualified engineer.
- Modify the list of detailing checks to be performed in the Detailing Tab. Most of the checks are optional, except for the design layout check, which determines clashes in the geometries.
Onglet Géométrie
Définir la section de la colonne, Dimensions de la plaque de base, et propriétés en béton.
Onglet Colonne
- Modify column shape. Choose among I-shaped sections, Sections creuses rectangulaires, or Circular Hollow Sections.
- Select the correct database. This depends on the available database on the design code. Par exemple, AISC I-shaped sections have W shapes, S shapes, M, shapes and HP shapes.
- Choose your column section. This list is synced with Section Builder de SkyCiv, so it’s complete and reliable.
- Sélectionnez un matériau dans la liste déroulante ou entrez des valeurs personnalisées (AF, Fu).
Onglet Plaque de base
- Set base plate width (dimension across the column profile) et longueur (dimension along the column depth).
- Also set base plate thickness. Use thicknesses that are readily available from the manufacturer.
- To add grout, specify thickness. To remove grout, use zero thickness (0). Check your design code for a minimum grout thickness if required.
- Sélectionnez un matériau dans la liste déroulante ou entrez des valeurs personnalisées (AF, Fu).
- Utiliser Taille automatique to easily adjust base plate dimensions relative to column dimensions. Remarque: Cette fonctionnalité ne change pas la taille en fonction de la force.
Onglet en béton
- Spécifiez le béton fissu. To be conservative, use cracked concrete. Some calculations require the use of cracked concrete for the assumptions to be true. Check your design code if you need to use uncracked concrete.
- Définir les dimensions du béton (largeur, longueur, thickness).
- Sélectionnez une résistance à la compression en béton dans la liste déroulante ou entrez une valeur personnalisée une valeur.
- Utiliser Taille automatique to easily adjust concrete dimensions relative to base plate dimensions. Remarque: Cette fonctionnalité ne change pas la taille en fonction de la force.
Onglet Anchors
Sélectionnez les propriétés d'ancrage, positionner, et vérifications d'échec.
Onglet Propriétés
- Choose anchor diameter. Available anchor diameters vary by design code. If the required diameter is not available on the list, request it through SkyCiv Upvoty and provide the relevant specifications.
- Provide embedment length, avoir. To visualize the extents of the embedment length, refer to the 2D figure in the tab.
- Select material grade for the anchor. Custom material grade can also be used by providing Fy and Fu values.
- Définir la forme d'extrémité intégrée: droit, assiette, ou crochet. Hook is only available in AISC and CSA.
- Set dimensions of the embedded plate. Utiliser Taille automatique to easily adjust dimensions relative to anchor diameter. Remarque: Cette fonctionnalité ne change pas la taille en fonction de la force.
- Installation type is set to Cast-In anchors.
- Other anchor property settings are available depending on the design code. This includes settings to include threads in shear plane (AISC/CSA), to configure hole clearance (EN), and use of welded washers (AISC/CSA).
Onglet Position
- Select an anchor pattern from the list. This will automatically define a set of anchors relative to given column and base plate sizes. Available anchor patterns are:
- I-shape – Coins, Bride uniquement, Web uniquement
- Rectangulaire – Coins, Haut/Bas uniquement, Gauche/Droite uniquement, Tous les côtés
- Circulaire – Coins
- Adjust the number of anchors, spacing and or edge distances accordingly. If using ‘All Sides’ the number of anchors on each direction can be modified.
- Make use of the 3D renderer at the right or illustrative 2D guide at the top to visualize placement and measurements.
- Activer Afficher les zones de tension d'ancrage Dans les paramètres de figure pour le guidage visuel. Seules les ancres de la zone de tension seront activées pour la charge de tension.
- For Fixed support, enable Show Tension Zones for Strong-axis Bending et Show Tension Zones for Weak-axis Bending to know which locations can activate the anchors for induced uplift. Note that the location of the anchor zones differ per design code.
- Vérifiez le résumé des données de l'ancrage pour toutes les informations sur l'ancre - ID d'ancrage, Z and Y coordinates, indication de la zone de tension, and group behavior for anchor checks.
Onglet Modes de défaillance
- Sélectionnez le mode de défaillance dans le menu déroulant pour afficher les représentations graphiques des modes de défaillance du béton. Available failure modes are:
- Casse-béton en tension
- Cassure du béton en cisaillement
- Concrete side face blow-out in tension
- Concrete pryout in shear
- No input is required here. This part is just a helpful guide to review possible anchor failures based on the design and loads.
Onglet Soudures
- Choisissez le type de soudure: Fillet or CJP/FPBW.
- Set weld material or use custom electrode strength.
- For AISC and CSA, weld size is uniform throughout. For EN and AS, welds on flanges and web can be different.
- Set weld set-back. This is the distance near the fillet radius for I-shaped section where “no weld” is specified. This is helpful when welds clash near the radius, especially on larger weld sizes.
- Additional settings can be placed for AS, specifically on the weld category.
- Compression load transfer is modifiable. Select Yes or No if compression loads will be transferred through welds only. The default is transferring compression loads through bearing and checking the column for bearing capacity. Depending on engineering judgment, transferring through welds may be used instead.
Onglet Charges de colonne
- Enter factored loads.
- For Pinned Supports, provide Axial and/or Shear Loads. For Axial Loads, use positive for compression and negative for tension.
- For Fixed Supports, provide Strong-Axis Moment (uni-axial), Moment d'axe faible, Axial Load and/or Shear Loads. Note that biaxial bending is not yet supported.
- Utilisez le + et – buttons to add or remove load combinations.
- Cliquez sur la cellule d'entrée de chargement pour voir la visualisation dans le rendu 3D.
- When adding multiple load combinations at once, load arrow rendering can be skipped for faster 3D processing.
