Course description
In Beam-Bearing Plates and Column Base Plates by ASD/LRFD Steel Construction Manual , you'll learn ...
- Thickness increments for column base plates and beam bearing plates
- Base plate dimensions are usually rounded to even inches while bearing plates are usually rounded to the nearest inch
- Base plates and bearing plates are usually made from A36 steel
- The three cases of base plate design in AISC, Design Guide, 2nd edition
Overview
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 100 minutes has been met.

This course covers the design of column base plates and beam bearing plates based on the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 13th edition. No prior knowledge of previous codes is necessary.
This course should be of particular interest to Civil and Structural Engineers. The course will show how to design a column base plate based on its strength limit state found in section J8 of the specification. It will show how to design a beam bearing plate based on three limits states. One is found in section J8 and two are in section J10 of the specification. The two in section J10 are for web local yielding and web crippling of the beam. The course will also show how Excel could be used to design beam bearing plates.
