Hi there fellow civil engineers. I would like to ask if you have some example for the design of base plates with rib plates. As of now I only have AIJ coefficients and some Timoshenko et al coefficients to design and check for the moment capacity of base plates. As of now I'm comparing the AIJ results to Timoshenko coeff results, but not all sides were available in Timoshenko, for example a portion with 3 sides fixed and 1 side free. Can you please share your own design procedure or if you are familiar about this can you please share your knowledge. Thanks!
