• SPECIFIC FEATURES
The cross section of the columns
• - constant or variable; • - build-up or compound from different elements interconnected (battened or laced); • - with constant section on the height of the column or variable on the height of the
column (tappered) or in steps of variation (stepped columns).
Steel elements (profiles)
• - build-up cross sections: thick plate welded (web and flanges) or hot-rolled profiles or build-up sections welded together to increase the stiffness of the cross section;
• -laced cross sections: hot-rolled profiles or build-up cross sections and the lace system is obtained from angles welded or bolted at the joints;
- battened cross sections.
Stiffening elements - ribs and stiffening diaphragms: longitudinal and transversal stiffening ribs and
diaphragms welded to the hot-rolled sections

a)- girder is continuous the corrugated steel sheet of the platform must be welded to the diaphragms of the column, important negative bending moments and sometimes uneven negative reactions being expected. b)- girder is simply supported the corrugated steel sheet is not welded to the column because at the top flange level the translations due to the rotation of the girder on the support must be allowed.
Capital of the columns: transfer of loads through thick plates, welded to the capital and the bearing surface

ELEMENTS FOR THE DESIGN OF COLUMNS
Brackets on columns a) The stress is transferred to the cross section of the rib from the flanges of the bracket. b) M =Re - moment induced by the eccentricity of application of the reaction from the crane girder c) Fatigue checking is necessary for the joint considering that a single crane acts on the girder. d) horizontal diaphragm needs strengthening with vertical stiffeners

Gusseted base plates
11
COLUMN BASES
Hinged bases The base plate is fixed to the foundation with two hold down bolts. Both shear and axial tension forces (when present) are transferred to the bolts . Compression is transferred to the base plate.
Fixed bases The moment resistant bases have hold down bolts also and the base plate may be stiffened with outstanding gussets. The surface of the base plate is imposed by the necessity of limiting the pressure on the foundation to the resistance of the concrete. Generally, the hold down bolts take no horizontal forces, but only axial tension

Columns with gusseted base plates
Brittle fracture is avoided by using frames mounted on base plate in which holes are drilled for the anchor bolts. The bolts have a long shank of minimum 15dia for a free deformation being appropriate column bases subjected to seismic action.

HOLD DOWN BOLTS
Tension in the shank is taken entirely by bond between the bolt and the concrete. When there is not enough depth to insure the bonding, the shank is shortened and processed in different shapes to enlarge friction forces or different steel profiles or plates are welded at the bottom of the shank

RESISTANCE OF THE WHOLE CONNECTION IN FOUNDATION TO SHEAR
1. Transmission of the shear force through friction between the base plate and the grout or the in-filling concrete
cf,d - friction coefficient between the base plate and the grout (=0.20 for sand and cement grout); Nc,Ed – design value of compression in the column
2. Transmission of the shear force through shear in the shank of anchor bolts and friction between the base plate and the grout Bolts shear situation is provided in the design by SR EN 1993-1-8, considering a limited lateral translation of the connection under horizontal forces. As the holes for bolts in the base plate have big diameters, bearing of the whole row of bolts does not govern. The verification addresses to small loading and cases when compression only is under the base plate. For post installed anchors the holes in the base plate are large; washers placed under nuts are welded providing the adequate shear resistance of the bolts. Cast-in place anchor bolts need normal sized holes in the base plate and the shank must in this case be designed to shear.

RESISTANCE OF THE WHOLE CONNECTION IN FOUNDATION TO SHEAR
Resistance to shear of the connection is then designed as the sum between the friction resistance of the base plate and shear of the anchor bolts:
Ff,Rd – friction resistance of the base plate to the grout surface; Fvb,Rd – shear resistance of the anchor bolt; nb – number of bolts in shear
Resistance to shear of the bolt is:
- bearing resistance;
- shear resistance

3. Transmission of the shear force through shear lug
RESISTANCE OF THE WHOLE CONNECTION IN FOUNDATION TO SHEAR
Hot rolled I or H sections are used, also angles, in case of lower level of shear force. Certain design conditions are imposed for the shear lug preventing it from pulling of from foundation: - height of the shear lug: hn0.4hc - length of the shear lug: 60 mm deff,n 1.5hn
Flanges of the I section are subjected to a small local bending and the slenderness is thus limited for the flange: bfn/tfn 20. (Exceptions from verification: HEA 260, 280, 300.

I. Identify the components of the connection II. Evaluate the resistance and stiffness characteristics for every component III. Determine the global characteristics of strength and stiffness
I Components The T stub in tension – bolts in tension, part of the base plate in bending and tensioned flange of the column The T stub in compression – grout and concrete in compression ,a part of the base plate in compression and the compressed flange of the column
Note: If bending moment is dominant at the base plate, the contribution of the web in compression and the afferent base plate is not relevant. This may become important when the compression is dominant

The following must be analyzed: - Failure mode of the T-stub; - Failure mode of the base plate that is part of the tensioned T –stub connection; - Distances between the anchor bolts axes.
Failure modes of an equivalent T-stub are: a. mode 1: whole plastic mechanism - plastic bending of the base plate along the anchor
bolts line; b. mode 2: partial plastic mechanism because of premature failure of a bolt which stops
the development of plastic stresses in the connection; c. mode 3: braking of the bolts in tension , the connected plates acting rigid; d. mode 4: plastic failure of the web of the T-stub in tension; e. mode 1-2: plastic failure of the flange of the tensioned T-stub and important
