Need a reliable base plate and anchor bolt design for a steel column or frame? Ill size the plate, select bolt grades and patterns, check bearing and overturning, and give you a clear drawing plus a calculation report. I design to your preferred code (AISC, Eurocode, or AS/NZS) and keep details practical for fabrication and site work.
What you get
Base plate plan and section with thickness, gussets or shear lugs if required
Anchor bolt size, grade, pattern, edge distances, embedment, and projection
Weld sizes and connection notes
Grout and leveling recommendations
Full calculation report (PDF) with load cases and checks
Fabrication drawing (PDF) and source file (DWG or DXF)
Optional editable Excel design sheet
What I need from you
Column type and size, steel grade
Factored loads at base: axial, shear, moments (or service loads plus factors)
Concrete grade, footing thickness if known, allowable bearing pressure if available
Anchor bolt preferences, site constraints, and any standard details you follow
