Designing steel base plates on concrete pedestals presents a number of structural challenges, including concrete breakout, anchor pullout, and complex load transfer mechanisms. Traditional anchoring design approaches, while safe, often lead to overly conservative results that increase material usage, construction complexity, and overall project costs.
In this technical webinar, we’ll walk through how to overcome these limitations using IDEA StatiCa — a powerful design tool that seamlessly connects steel and concrete design. You’ll learn how to model, analyze, and code-check steel base plates and anchoring systems in a more streamlined, efficient workflow.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
-
Design steel base plates and anchoring systems using IDEA StatiCa Connection
-
Export base plate geometry, loads, and boundary conditions to IDEA StatiCa Detail
-
Model reinforced concrete pedestals, including anchor reinforcement and rebar layout
-
Perform accurate code checks for both concrete and steel per AISC and ACI standards
-
Link steel and concrete design processes without redundant re-modeling, cutting down design time and improving coordination between disciplines
* Continuing education credit will be provided by IDEA StatiCa to attendees after the webinar. Questions? Email office@ideastatica.com
This webinar will be recorded and made available on the STRUCTURE website.
