Base plate thickness for bolt tension :

Base thickness for bolt tension will be calculated based on the moment at column flange/wing plate or
rib plate face.
To calculate the above moments, the load transfer from bolt centre to respective line of fixity is
considered to be inversely proportional to the cube of the distance from respective lines of fixity.
* Refer sheet 18 and 19 of AISC design guide 1, 2nd edition.
