Question: An axially loaded W 2 5 0 x 8 9 column is supported on a 2 5 mm thick backplate having dimensions of 3 2

An axially loaded W250x89 column is supported on a 25mm thick backplate having dimensions of 325mmx325mm. The concrete pedestal on the which the base plate is set 450mm square. All steel is A36 and fc=24 Mpa. Properties are d=259mm, bf=257mm. Use ASD and LRFD.(a) calculate the allowable design bearing pressure on pedestal (b) compute the maximum axial load that this base plate can support based on bearing pressure on concrete pedestal (c) determine the axial load that this plate can support based on the bench strength of the plate
