API 650 Baseplate Design

The document appears to be a baseplate design calculation for a storage tank. It includes information on the client, project location, tank description, and job number. The design is based on standards from AISC and API 650, with modifications to material properties based on the design temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Key inputs include a column diameter of 18 inches, baseplate thickness of 1.75 inches, total load of 100,000 pounds, and allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf. The calculations determine the width of the participating bottom plate as 4.32 inches, actual bearing pressure as 89.4% of allowable, and bending stress in the baseplate as 88.9% of the allowable,

Baseplate Design per API 650
A. Introduction
API 650 requires that the baseplates be designed per AISC or other approved standard. These baseplates are
designed using the latest edition of AISC with temperature modification factors per API 650, Appendix M.
