Steel Base Plate Design Module
Steel Base Plate Connection often serves as the critical interface between steel and concrete. SkyCiv Base Plate and Anchor Design currently supports the following capabilities when designing
- Design checks in compliance with ACI 318 or AISC, Australian Standards, European and Canadian Standards
- Supports multiple load cases such as Dead, Live, Earthquake, Wind and etc.
- Base plate load capabilities of axial, bi-axial and uplift loads.
- Built-in section libraries for Wide Flange, HSS, Pipe and Rectangular column shape type under AISC, CSA, EN and AS.
- Easy Anchor bolt layout
- Checks the Concrete/Pedestal design (Bearing pressure)
- Checks the Steel plate design
- Checks the Weld design
- Checks the Design for Anchor (Pullout, Pryout, Sideblow, Breakout).
- Detailed step-by-step reporting with clear graphical output.
- Calculation formulas and code references are visible

“The ease of use and the presentation of the results are both awesome. I have had ongoing interaction with the support team and everyone is excellent!”

It is used for various civil and mechanical engineering courses and the students love it. We are happy with the continuous updates to SkyCiv as well, highly recommended.

“It was easily the most intuitive package available to learn; it is particularly easy to build the 3D model and define nodes, members, supports, materials, sections, then apply loads & combinations.”
