These structural steel base plate details show anchor bolt layouts and shear lug configurations for braced frame columns. The drawings specify minimum edge distances, plate dimensions of two feet by one foot two inches, and equal bolt spacing. Shear lugs are welded to the base plates with lengths increased as necessary for required weld capacity. Details include braced frame base plates BFSBP-1, BFSBP-2, and a standard base plate at columns without a brace.
