If (A 1 ) min = d b f > required A 1 (calculated above), use (A 1 ) min as the area of the base plate. Otherwise, use A 1 as the area of the base plate. Compute the base plate dimensions B and N. - Since this is a square base pate B = N. B = N = (A 1 ) 1/2 (Round up to the nearest inch.) Check the bearing strength P p /Ω c of the concrete using the following equation. P p /Ω c = (1/Ω c ) [0.85 f c A 1 (A 2 /A 1 ) 1/2 ] Ω c =2.31 f c = the specified concrete compression strength A 1 = B x N (based on the rounded dimensions determined above).
