Practical Design of Block Out Connections at the Base of Steel Moment Frames [E16]

We'll review common details and associated analytical models to better understand the complicated nuisances of designing the most critical component of every structural steel building, addressing topics like:

• An overview of the current experimental research being performed to verify analytical models of baseplates under loads.
• The application of current research and the implications to the design.
• How to incorporate the updated analytical model in your design to maximize efficiencies and minimize expense.

Numerous design examples will be presented showcasing the analytical model's impact on design and will also demonstrate the limitations of its use.
