Base Plate Design Summary
This output contains a summary of the design of all base plates for all gravity columns in the structure.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Column Line Grid Label: | This is the column line grid label. It represents the top co-ordinate or grid location of the top column and top co-ordinate or grid location of the bottom column in a column line. If the top columns top coordinates and bottom columns top coordinates are the same then only one is listed in the label. |
| Column Size: | The size of column at the given location, used in calculating plate size. |
| Fy, fy, py: | Yield strength of base plate. |
| N: | Plate dimension parallel to column web. |
| B: | Plate dimension perpendicular to column web. |
| tp: | Plate thickness required for stresses, capacities, and increment criteria. |
