An axially loaded W $25089$ column is supported on a $30mm$ thick base plate having

dimensions of $315mm375mm.$ The concrete pedestal on which the base plate is set is

$450mm$ square. All steel is A$36.$ Use $f^{\text{'}}c=24\mathrm{.}2$MPa,$bf=256mm$ and $d=260mm$

a$)$ Determine the allowable bearing pressure $($kPA$)$ on the concrete pedestal.

b$)$ Find the max. allowable axial load that this base plate can support based on allowable

bearing pressure of concrete pedestal.

c$)$ Find the design axial load that this plate can support based on the bending strength

of the plate.
