<p>This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Foundation column Plate in AutoCAD, Dwg file. Base plates are usually used <strong>to distribute column loads over a large enough area of supporting concrete construction that the design bearing strength of the concrete is not exceeded</strong>. Column bases are <strong>designed to provide a connection between a primary-load-carrying vertical wood column to the concrete foundation</strong>. They provide vertical support and connection to transfer loads to the building foundation, acting as a brace for the structural loads supported by the columns.
