Introduction
This NCCI covers the design of fixed bases of I section columns transmitting a normal force, a shear force and a moment. The rectangular base plate is welded to the column section in a symmetrical position so that it has projections beyond the column flange outer edges on all sides (see Figure 1.1). Anchor bolts rows, normal to the column major axis, are symmetrically placed about the column minor axis. The base plate may be located eccentrically on the concrete foundation. In practice, the following two design situations are encountered: 1. The column section and the concomitant design normal force, shear force and moment are known. The dimensions of the required base plate and anchor bolts are to be determined. The column section, base plate and foundation dimensions in a particular structure are known. It is required to check that the different combinations of axial force, shear force and moment that arise can be safely resisted.
2.
The design procedures for these two situations are given in Sections 4 and 5 respectively.

Noting, in particular, the importance of the intrinsic relationship between the values of the design moment and the concomitant normal force, the satisfactory determination of the fundamental characteristics of the joint components (i.e. grout/foundation bearing resistance, base plate area, base plat thickness, anchor bolt dimensions and anchor bolt positions) usually requires separate checking of all joint components for the concomitant forces and moments resulting from a number of different load combination cases acting on the structure. The shear force resistance of the base plate joint is either covered by SN037 and, if the friction resistance is insufficient, by SN043. The shear force is not considered to have any effect of the joint resistance to a combination of a normal force and a moment. The stiffness of the base plate joint is obtained using SN045.

3.1
The design model for a fixed column base plate joint for a combined normal force plus a moment about the major column axis is given in 6.2.8 of EN 1993-1-8. The most common load distributions in a fixed column base joint, shown in Figure 3.1 a), b) and c) respectively, are as follows: Compression on both sides of the joint due to a dominant axial compression load combined with - either a clockwise moment - or an anticlockwise moment. Tension on the left hand side and compression on the right hand side due to a dominant clockwise moment combined with - either a compressive axial load - or a tensile axial load (uplift) .
