Let's talk about base plates and anchor rods. Do you understand all the design philosophies at play? We'll consider questions like:

• Are there any reliable rules of thumb I can use?
• Are my analytical models telling me the whole story?
• What spring constant do I use to simulate concrete?
• How do I model anchor rods to best simulate actual conditions?
• Do I need to consider prying action?
• How are the forces distributed to the anchor rods?
• Does the location of the anchor rod relative to the center of action matter?
