Better Base Plate Performance by Design
Part of the successful performance of any steel structure is based on the correct design of the base plate
and embeds. The base plate is an essential part of every structure and is crucial to its performance during
a seismic or wind event. Little research has been completed and therefore little is known about the correct
modeling and performance of base plates and embeds. This presentation will take some of the mystery out of
the design of these deceptively simple, often overlooked, frequently marginalized, and yet crucial structural
elements to minimize the chance of a change order or catastrophe.
This course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education.
The times will be 10:00 Pacific, 11:00 Mountain, 12:00 Central, and 1:00 Eastern
