the case where a continuous ring is used at the top
of chairs, maximum stress occurs in the vertical
direction and is a combination of bending plus
direct stress. Formulas which follow are approxima-
tions, based on the work of Bijlaard.

Maximum recommended stress is 25 ksi, This
a local stress occurring just above the top of the
chair. Since il diminishes rapidly away from the cht
a higher than normal stress ;s justified but an in-
crease for temporary loads. such as earthquake 01
wind is not recommended. The following general
guidelines are recommended:
Minimum chair height h =6': except use h =1
when base plate or bottom plate is 3/8" or thinr
and where earthquake or winds over 100 mph
must be considered.
Maximum recommended chair heighl h =33.
If chair height c'alculated is excessive, reduce
eccentricity e. if possible, or use more anchor bolt'
of 3 smaller diameter. Another solution is to use a
continuous ring at top of chairs,
If continuous ring is used, check for maximum
stress in circumferential direction, considering the
I
ring as though it were loaded with equally spaced
concentrated loads equal to Pelh. Portion of shell r
within 16t either side of the attachment may be
I
counted as part of the ring.

Notethatthe baseplate or boltom is also sub-
jectedtothissame horizontal force, except inward
insteadofoutward.This is trueeven ifa continuous
ring is notusedaround the topof the cha irs - but
it should never causeanyveryhigh stressesin the
base,sowedo notnormallycheck it. However, it
is a good thing to keep in mind in caseyou have a
very light b<lse ring.
VerticalSidePlates
Be sure top platedoes notoverhangside plate (&s

Anotherrequirement is ik ;;;. P125, wherek is

These limitsassure a maximum Llr of86.6and
a maximumaverage stress in thesideplatesof12.5
ksi, even assuming no load was transmittedinto the
shell through the welds.
AssemblyofChair
Forfield erectedstructures,shipeitherthetop
plateor theentirechair loose for installation
afterthestructure is sittingover the anchor bolts.
We wantto avoid making thefield men thread the
anchorboltthrough twosetsofholes whenset-
ting thestructurein place.
Wherebase plate is welded toskirtorcolumn
in shop,attachsideplates in the shopandship
