Initial data:

KRISTALL parameters:
Steel: C345  category 1
Group of structures according to the table 50* of SNiP II-23-81* 3

Importance factor 1
Service factor  1,15

Manual calculation (SNiP II-23-81*):

1. Design bending moment acting in the design section of the base plate:

\[ M=0,5\sigma_{f} c^{2}=0,5\cdot 1,19\cdot 9,0^{2}=48,195 \quad kN/cm. \]

2. Check the bending strength of the base plate ( γ_с = 1,15 – according to the table 6* of SNiP II-23-81*):

\[ \frac{6M}{t_{p}^{2} }=\frac{6\cdot 48,195}{4^{2}}=18,073125 \quad kN/cm^{2} \quad \quad < R_{y} \gamma_{c} =30\cdot 1,15=34,5 \quad kN/cm^{2}. \]

Comments:

The service factor of the base plate according to the table 6* of SNiP II-23-81* is not taken into account in the source.
