How to Evaluate Base Plate Thickness?

Base Plate Thickness evaluator uses Base Plate Thickness = 2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension*(sqrt(Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/Yield Strength of Base Plate)) to evaluate the Base Plate Thickness, The Base Plate Thickness formula is defined as distribute column loads over a large enough area of supporting concrete construction that the design bearing strength of the concrete is not exceeded. Base Plate Thickness is denoted by tp symbol.

How to evaluate Base Plate Thickness using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Base Plate Thickness, enter Maximum Cantilever Dimension (l), Bearing Pressure on Base Plate (fp) & Yield Strength of Base Plate (Fy) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Base Plate Thickness

What is the formula to find Base Plate Thickness?
The formula of Base Plate Thickness is expressed as Base Plate Thickness = 2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension*(sqrt(Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/Yield Strength of Base Plate)). Here is an example- 70014 = 2*0.025*(sqrt(100000000/51000000)).
How to calculate Base Plate Thickness?
With Maximum Cantilever Dimension (l), Bearing Pressure on Base Plate (fp) & Yield Strength of Base Plate (Fy) we can find Base Plate Thickness using the formula - Base Plate Thickness = 2*Maximum Cantilever Dimension*(sqrt(Bearing Pressure on Base Plate/Yield Strength of Base Plate)). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
Can the Base Plate Thickness be negative?
Yes, the Base Plate Thickness, measured in Length can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Base Plate Thickness?
Base Plate Thickness is usually measured using the Millimeter[mm] for Length. Meter[mm], Kilometer[mm], Decimeter[mm] are the few other units in which Base Plate Thickness can be measured.
