Pocketed Steel Column Base

• Structural steel (S235, S275, S355, S450)
• Annealed steel (S275N to S460N)
• Thermo-steel (S275M to S460M)
• Weathering steel (S235W to S355W)
• High-temperature steel (S460Q to S460QL1)
• Hollow section, hot-finished (S235H to S355H)
• Hollow section, hot-finished, fine-grain (S275NH to S460NH)
• User-defined steel
• Reinforced concrete: C12/15 to C50/60 or user-defined concrete

Available systems:

• Restrained column base with welded-on base plate

Cross-sections:

•  Column
  • I-sections as standard shapes
  • I-sections as user-defined shapes
• Base plate
  • Flat steel with standard or user-defined dimensions

• Optionally, design internal forces or characteristic internal forces from axial force, moment (My, Mz), and shear force (Vy, Vz)
• Multiple combinations of design internal forces can be entered

The depth of restraint is determined as a function of the permissible concrete compression and the maximum transverse force that can be borne by the column section. The verification of the concrete compression between the column section and the foundation is performed. The column section is verified in the area of restraint for the maximum shear and axial stress as well as the equivalent stresses at the web end at beginning of the filleting.

As a standard, a verification of the plastic cross-sectional resistance of the column section is performed in accordance with EN 1993-1-1. Optionally, the user can verify the cross-section for its elastic resistance. In addition, the verification of the base plate underneath the column and the simplified verification of the fillet welds between the column and the base plate are performed. Either an elastic-elastic or elastic-plastic verification of the plate thickness is performed.

DIN 18800 (11/1990):

Structural safety verifications as limit state design. Two methods for the calculation of the depth of restraint are optionally available:

• in accordance with Kahlmeyer
• in accordance with Mang, Koch, Stiglat, Seiler in “Stahlbau”, magazine 9/2002 p. 653.

For the verification according to Kahlmeyer as per DIN 18800, also round, square, and rectangular hollow sections are permitted.
