In Window 1.5 Base Plate and Welds, you can define the base plate parameters.
Base Plate
In this window section, you can define the material and dimensions of the base plate.
You can use the 
button to open the material library where you can find the properties of various steel grades.
Base Plate Welds
The Allow transfer of compression by contact between the column and the base plate check box allows you to reduce the weld loading; the design force must be a compression force in this case. Tension forces are transferred by the welds without exception.
The welds of the column cross-section to the base plate are applied as shown in the sketch at the top right of the window. You can enter the parameters for the Weld on flange and Weld on web. For rectangular and circular hollow sections, you can define the Weld on column.
During the calculation, the module also checks structural details. If, for example, the selected weld thicknesses are too large for the base plate dimensions, a corresponding message appears.
Restrained Column Footing - Bucket Footing
If you have selected the Bucket footing joint type in Window 1.1 General Data (see Figure 3.6), the name of Window 1.5 is Column and it looks as follows.
The Base plate is welded to the end of column check box determines if there is a column base plate. If that is the case, you can enter the parameters of the base plate and weld as described above.
You can impact the calculation with the Bearing of inner flange check box. By selecting it, the program takes the elastic compression of the concrete into account. This affects the load introduction length.
If necessary, you can adjust the preset value of the Friction coefficient μ for the tension resistance.
The parameters of an Eccentricity of the column allow you to determine the eccentric arrangement of the column in the foundation.
