NCCI: Design model for simple column bases- axially

loaded I section columns
This NCCI provides rules for determining either the design resistance or the required
dimensions of base plates of simple columns, i.e. columns which are predominantly loaded
in axial compression. While this NCCI is limited to covering symmetrical I section column
bases, the rules given can be easily extended to bases of hollow section columns.

Introduction
This NCCI covers the design of simple bases of I section columns transmitting an axial
compressive force and a shear force (i.e. a pinned column base). The rectangular base plate
is welded to the column section in a symmetrically position so that it has projections beyond
the column flange outer edges on all sides (see Figure 1.1). The base plate may be positioned
eccentrically on the concrete foundation.
If not required to resist moment, it is usual practice in many countries to attach this type of
column base to the concrete foundation by two anchor bolts symmetrically placed about the
web on the columns major axis. However in some countries, such as the UK, it may be
required to have four anchor bolts in order to better ensure the stability of the column during
erection. Anchor bolts provide resistance to any uplift forces which arise in the column and
also, but only under certain conditions, may be used to provide resistance to shear at the
column base.
The present NCCI does not cover
the design of anchor bolts,

the design of the column to base plate welds.

In practice, the following two design situations are encountered:

The column section and the axial design force are known. The dimensions of the required
base plate are to be determined.
The column section, base plate and foundation dimensions are known. The design
compressive resistance of the column base is required to be determined.
The design procedures for these two situations are given in Sections 4 and 5 respectively.
The basis of the design requires a value of the design strength for the foundation joint material
(grout) beneath the base plate. A simple conservative value is given in Section 4 and a method
to determine a more exact value which can be used in Section 5, taking account of the
foundation dimensions and the enhancement of strength that can be realised by load dispersal
into the foundation, is given in Annex A to this NCCI.

A simple column base may be assumed to be a nominally pinned joint in the global analysis
of the frame. Noting that there are no criteria given in EN 1993-1-8 for the nominally
pinned classification of column bases, it is possible that National Annexes provide
information.

Design model
3.1
General
The design model for the axial compression force is based on 6.2.5 and 6.2.8.2(1) of EN
1993-1-8. The basic design approach is to ensure that the bearing stresses under the base plate
neither exceed the design bearing strength of the foundation joint material nor lead to
excessive bending of the base plate.
Page 4
SN037a-EN-EU
The design model assumes that the bearing resistance of a column base on its foundation is
provided by three non-overlapping T-stubs in compression, one for each column flange and
one for the column web, as shown in Figure 3.1. For each T-stub, the design bearing
resistance is determined by multiplying its bearing area (length by width) by the strength of
the foundation joint material.
The length and width of each T-stub depend on the dimensions of the relevant flange or web
and on an additional bearing width, cantilevered from the T-stub stem as shown in
Figure 3.2and Figure 4.1. While the theoretical value of the additional bearing width
depends on the elastic bending resistance of the base plate and on the design strength of the
foundation joint material, the effective total bearing area needs to be corrected if use of the
latter width leads to overlapping of the individual T-stub bearing areas between the flanges.

Base plate types
There are two basic types of base plate identified in EN1993-1-8, large projection base
plates and short projection base plates.
For the large projection base plate, the projection of the base plate beyond the column
section perimeter is such that the design bearing width on each side of all three T-stubs is
usually equal to the value of the additional width (c). A large projection base plate is
illustrated in Figure 3.2a).
For the short projection base plate, the projection beyond both column flanges towards the
base plate edges, while being less than the value of the additional width (c), is adequate to
allow fillet welding of the flanges to the base plate. Usually, for the latter purpose, a width
approximately equal to the column flange thickness is provided. A short projection base
plate is illustrated in Figure 3.2b).

Accounting for overlap
Note that when some H-section columns are used with thick base plates, the flange T-stubs of
additional bearing width c on the web side would overlap in the central area between the
flanges as shown in Figure 3.2c) and Figure 3.2d). In such cases, since there would be no
bearing area left for a web T- stub, the effective bearing area would be reduced to a simple
rectangular area as follows:
Short projection base plate: Aeff. bearing = Ac0 = leff beff = hpbp
Large projection base plate: Aeff. bearing = Ac0 = leff beff = (hc+ c)(bfc + c) hpbp

Design situation 1: Dimension a base plate
If the column section and the axial compression force are given, the following procedure can
be used to dimension the base plate.
Step 1: Choose the design strengths of the materials
Base plate steel strength:
A design value for the yield strength f yp of the base plate steel is adopted.
Bearing strength of the foundation joint material (grout):
It is shown below that, in most practical cases, the value of the design bearing strength of the
joint material can be taken as equal to that of the design concrete strength in compression, i.e.
f jd = f cd . Table 4.1provides typical design bearing strengths for typical concrete grades and
foundation joint materials.

More generally, the design bearing strength of the foundation joint material is given as:
f jd = jf cd
Where:
is the foundation joint coefficient, whose value is taken as 2/3,

=
Ac1 / Ac0 accounts for the concrete bearing strength enhancement due to diffusion
of the concentrated force within the foundation over the area Ac1 (see Annex A). In
practice, the value of 1,5 is commonly used..
f cd
is the design compressive strength of the foundation concrete.
With the above assumptions for the values of the coefficients j and one obtains
f jd = jf cd = (2 / 3)(1,5) f cd = f cd , which is the basis for the design values given in Table 4.1.
It is usual practice to use a concrete of medium strength for foundations and quality grout for
the joint material in all cases.
For other concrete classes and assumptions, see Annex A.
Page 7
SN037a-EN-EU
Step 2: Make a preliminary estimate of the base plate area

A first estimate of the required base plate area is given by the larger of the following two
values:
1 N j,Ed
Ac0 =
hcbf c f cd
Ac0 =
N j,Ed
f cd
Step 3: Choose the type of base plate

The choice of the base plate type is recommended to be as follows:
Ac0 0,95 hcbfc
adopt a large projection base plate,
Ac0 < 0,95 hcbfc
adopt a short projection base plate.
Note: A large projection base plate may be adopted in all cases.

Step 4: Determine the additional bearing width

The value of the additional bearing width, c, is obtained by satisfying the relevant design
bearing resistance condition as follows (see figures 3.2 and 4.1):
Design bearing resistance of a short projection base plate:
Assuming the projections beyond the column flange edges to be equal to the column flange
thickness tfc , the design bearing resistance is as follows:
Nj,Rd = fjd [2(bfc + 2 tfc)(c + 2 tfc) + (hc 2 c 2 tfc)(2 c + twc)]
Design bearing resistance of a large projection base:
Assuming the bearing width about the column perimeter to be equal to the additional bearing
width c, the design bearing resistance is as follows:
Nj,Rd = fjd [2(bfc + 2 c)(2c + tfc) + (hc - 2 c 2 tfc)(2 c + twc)]
Replacing Nj,Rd by Nj,Ed in the above expressions, the solution to the resulting quadratic
equations for the unknown c takes the standard form:
c=
B B 2 4 AC
- for which positive solutions only are of interest.
2A
Table 4.2 gives the expressions for the constants A, B and C , under the relevant non
overlapping T-stub column.

+ (bfctfc+0,5hctwc-tfctwc) (Nj,Ed/2fjd)
+ (bfchc)/2 -(Nj,Ed/2fjd)
Check for overlapping T-stubs

The value obtained above for the additional width c sometimes exceeds half the height of
the column web, which is unacceptable as it implies having overlapping T-stubs bearing
areas.

Short projection base plate: change to a large projection base plate and recalculate c.
Large projection base plate: recalculate c based on having the entire area between the
column flanges in bearing in the design expression. The design condition for the large
projection base plate then becomes:
Nj,Ed Nj,Rd = fjd [(bfc + 2 c)(hc + 2 c)]
The corresponding expressions for A, B and C to be used in the solution for c are given in the
last column of Table 4.2.
Step 5: Determine the required minimum plan dimensions of the base plate
The final plan dimensions of the base plate are based on the following:
Short projection base plate:
bp (bfc + 2 tfc)
hp (hc + 2 tfc)
Large projection base plate:
bp (bfc + 2 c)
hp (hc + 2 c)
Step 6: Determine the minimum required base plate thickness
The minimum required thickness of the base plate is obtained from the condition that the
plate, assumed to act as a cantilever off the column perimeter, is not subject to more than its
elastic design bending resistance under a uniform bearing pressure equal to fjd acting over the
additional width c (see Figure 4.1). The value for the minimum required thickness is given

Design situation 2: Determine the design axial
load resistance of a column base
Step 1: Establish basic parameters and assumptions
-
Base plate steel grade: the value of fyp is required to be known.
Dimensions of the base plate: tp , bp and hp are required to be known.
Column section: tfc , twc , bfc and hc are required to be known.
Foundation joint material: it is assumed that a value of j = 2/3 is justified.
Foundation dimensions (df , bf , hf ) and base plate position parameters (eb, , eh).:
-

If known, = min 1 +
hp
bp
max(hp , bp )
Where eb = (bf bfc -2 tfc)/2 and eh = (hf hc -2 tfc)/2.
If not known, adopt = 1,5
Foundation concrete strength:

-
If known, take fcd from table 4.1 (or table A.1)
If not known, assume grade 20: fcd = 13,3 N/mm.
Step 2: Determine the design bearing strength

The design bearing strength is given by: f jd = 2 / 3f cd
Page 10
SN037a-EN-EU
Step 3: Determine the value of the additional bearing width

The value is given by:
c = tp
f yp
3 f jd M 0
Step 4: Determine the design compressive resistance of the base plate

Short projection base plate
If c (hc 2 tfc)/2 the design resistance in compression is given by:
Nj,Rd = 2 Ffc,Rd + Fwc,Rd = fjd [2 (bfc + 2c)(c + c + tfc) + (hc 2 c 2 tfc) (2 c + twc)]
Note: The projection length c (see figure 4.1) can be safely replaced by tfc.
If c > (hc 2 tfc)/2 the design resistance in compression is given by:
Nj,Rd = 2 Ffc,Rd = fjd (bphp) .
Large projection base plate
If c (hc 2 tfc)/2 the design resistance in compression is given by:
Nj,Rd = 2 Ffc,Rd + Fwc,Rd = fjd [2 (bfc + 2 c)(2c + tfc) + (hc 2 c 2 tfc)(2 c + twc)]
If c > (hc 2 tfc)/2 , (hc + 2 c) hp and (bc + 2 c) bp (overlapping) the design resistance in
compression is given by:
Nj,Rd = 2 Ffc,Rd = fjd [ (bfc + 2 c)( hc + 2 c)]
Otherwise, the design resistance in compression is given by:
Nj,Rd = 2 Ffc,Rd = fjd [min((bfc + 2 c):bp)min((hc + 2 c ): hp)]
6.
Shear resistance of the base plate joint
The design shear resistance is based on the friction resistance developed by the compressive
load applied by the base plate on the joint material. It is given as (EN 1993-1-8 6.2.2(6)):
Fv,Rd = Ff,Rd
Where: Ff,Rd = Cf,d Nc,Ed
Nc,Ed is the column design compressive load and
Cf,d is the coefficient of friction between the base plate and the grout layer. A value
of 0,2 is specified for sand-cement mortar. Otherwise tests in accordance with
EN 1990 Annex D are required to determine the coefficient value for any other type
of grout.
The design check is: Vc,Ed Fv,Rd

Design bearing strength
A.1 Influence of foundation dimensions on bearing

strength
The design bearing strength of the foundation joint (grout), fjd , depends on:
the degree of diffusion of the base plate load into the foundation
the compressive strength of the foundation concrete
relative strength and thickness of the grout (see 6.2.5(7) of EN 1993-1-8).

If the foundation dimensions are sufficiently large compared to those of the base plate, the
bearing strength can be significantly greater than the concrete design strength in compression,
since optimal diffusion of the load is possible (see Figure A.1 d)). If full diffusion is not
possible the design bearing strength can be considerably less than the maximum bearing
strength (see Figure A.1 a), b), and c)).
The maximum bearing strength corresponds to the situation when the ratio
(the limiting condition given in EN1992-1-1 6.7(2)).
Ac1 / Ac0 = 3,0
Where
Ac1
is the distribution area (by uninterrupted diffusion within the foundation)
Aco
is the base plate bearing area
When the ratio Ac1 / Ac0 is at the maximum, the required base dimensions (width, depth and
thickness) will be the smallest possible.
Although the theoretical minimum value for the Ac1 / Ac0 ratio is unity, it is common
practice to adopt a minimum of 1,5. This minimum corresponds to having uninterrupted
foundation dimensions of bf = 1,5bp and hf = 1,5hp (see figure A.1 e)). To ensure that this
distribution can be achieved, the foundation depth must satisfy the following:
df max[bfhf /(bf + hf) , 3bphp /(2bp + 2hp)]

A.2 Maximum and minimum bearing strengths

The design bearing strength of the foundation joint material is given as:
f jd = jf cd
Where: j is the foundation joint coefficient, whose value is taken as 2/3,
= Ac1 / Ac0 is the coefficient which accounts for the concrete bearing strength
enhancement due the diffusion of the concentrated force within the foundation,
f cd is the design compressive strength of the foundation concrete.
The use of the j = 2/3 coefficient value requires that the relevant conditions on the grout
compressive strength (EN 1993-1-8 6.2.5(7)) be met:
Page 14
SN037a-EN-EU
If the grout thickness min (50 mm; 0,2 hp ; 0,2 bp), the grout compressive strength
should be at least equal to 0,2 f cd
If the grout thickness > 50 mm, the grout compressive strength should be at least equal
to f cd
The determination the value of the bearing strength enhancement coefficient requires
knowledge of the foundation dimensions, information which is rarely available at the stage
the dimensions the column base plates are fixed.
If the foundation dimensions are known, the design bearing strength of the foundation joint
can be calculated:
f jd = j f cd Ac1 / Ac0
Where:

The following simplifying assumptions are made in this NCCI:

To permit a foundation joint material coefficient of j = 2/3, the conditions on strength
and thickness of the grout joint (see clause 6.2.5(7) of EN 1993-1-8) are met.
In order to simplify the determination of the bearing strength, it is acceptable to consider
that the base plate area as a whole is in bearing. Taking Ac0 = bphp (instead of Ac0 = beffheff
for a single T-stub) leads to a safe estimate of the bearing resistance of the joint and is
consistent with assuming the base plate to be under axial loading only. When the
foundation dimensions are known initially, but those of the base plate are not, it is
recommended to take Ac0 = (bfc + 2 tfc)(hc + 2 tfc) as an initial estimate.
If the foundation dimensions are unknown, it is recognized that usual foundation sizes relative
to that of the base plate justify Ac1 / Ac0 = 1,5. Taking = 1,5, a design bearing strength
of fjd = fcd is obtained ( f jd = jf cd = ( 2 / 3)(1,5) f cd = f cd ).
If the more conservative value for the design bearing strength of fjd = 2/3fcd is adopted it
corresponds to having the foundation area, Ac1, equal to the base plate area, Ac0, which is
rarely the case in typical building situations.
Design on the basis of a design bearing strength fjd greater than fcd is recommended only if
there can be prior collaboration with the party responsible for the foundations.
The values of fcd and j fcd for the different concrete classes are given in table A.1
