ANALYSIS AND BEHVIOR OF STEEL COLUMN BASE PLATES

The following subjects are some topics for the future research work in steel base connections:1. The concrete base dimensions have to be taken into consideration.2. The material non-linearity can be considered.3. The length of the anchor bold in concrete footing may be taken as a variable.4. Study of base connection under repeated and dynamic loads.5. Study the behavior of base connections subjected to eccentric tension.6. Study the case of eccentric force in the two directions..
