Design of the Base

Assume Material for the base : Cast Iron ASTM Class 40

1. Bearing Pressure between the nut and the Base

Assume

CHECK

2. Buckling Analysis of the Base:

Check for Johnson’s Column:

If it is a Johnson’s Column then find the Critical Load by using equation and check whether Buckling occurs or not:

3. Compression Stress on the Column:

4. Checking Stresses on the Base Seat:

Assuming a uniformly distributed load on the entire base seat at a circumference which is in the center of the base seat

5. Bearing Pressure between the Base and Concrete Surface:
