Abstract
A design model for an embedded steel column base is proposed in this part of the paper. The proposed model introduces the calculation for the moment, shear and vertical resistance by the use of plastic stress distribution analysis. The design model is based on the experimental results and numerical modelling described in Part I of this paper (Pertold J, Xiao R, Wald F. Embedded column base Part I. Experiment and numerical simulation. Journal of Construction Steel Research). The proposed model reduces the length of embedded column needed to transfer loading forces. Shear and vertical resistance calculation methods have also been improved. Compared with existing experimental results it indicates that the design model is safe and accurate.
