BASE PLATE USE CASE
Challenge
A structural engineering firm is tasked with designing the base plates for steel columns in a new commercial building. The project requires base plates that can withstand axial force, bi-axial bending, shear, and torsion, while also accommodating various column profiles and base plate configurations.
Solution
Using Prokon Base Plate software, engineers input project specifications, including column profiles, loading conditions, and base plate configurations. They utilise the software’s comprehensive capabilities to assess the structural behavior of the base plates under different loading scenarios. Engineers customise bolt layouts and base plate configurations to optimise connection strength and efficiency. They leverage the software’s integration with other Prokon modules, such as Frame or Sumo, to ensure a cohesive workflow and seamless transfer of data between different stages of the design process.
