Baseplate analysis produces the following results:
-
The thickness requirement is calculated using the 1.5 allowable plate bending stress and compared to the input thickness.
-
The concrete bearing pressure is compared to the input allowable stress
-
The anchor bolt size is analyzed at the bending level (D. Moss) and the overall vessel moment equilibrium (H. Bednar). In the absence of tension in the bolts, you should choose a practical bolt size.
