Q$2$ Base Plate

Check that the column base plate shown in Figure Q$7$ is suitable to resist an axial design load, $\backslash ($ N$\_\{\backslash$mathrm$\{$Ed$\}\}\backslash ),$ of $2200$ kN $.$ Assume that the foundations are of concrete of cylinder compressive strength, $\backslash ($ f $\backslash$mathrm$\{$ck$\}\backslash ),$ of $25$ MPa and that the base plate is made of S $275$ steel. The effective base plate area is also indicated.

$($a$)$ Obtain the effective area of the base plate

$($b$)$ Determine the Axial load capacity of the based plate

$($c$)$ Bending in the base plate
