Excerpt from A Study of Base and Bearing Plates for Columns and Beams The primary object of this study has been to produce a series of accurate formulas and tables for the different forms and materials of base and bearing plates. These formulas are required to be as simple and as easily applied as possible and to be in accordance with the local building ordinances of the larger cities in the United States. A secondary purpose has been to devise a similar series of formulas based on the common theory of the fracture of such plates and to check the accuracy of these common formulas by experimental tests of a series of plates designed in accordance with such formulas. A number of typical plates were so designed and tested in 1907 by Mr. C. R. Dick, B. S. In Architectural Engineering, and the results were discussed in his thesis.
