This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Foundation column Plate in AutoCAD, Dwg file. Base plates are usually used to distribute column loads over a large enough area of supporting concrete construction that the design bearing strength of the concrete is not exceeded. Column bases are designed to provide a connection between a primary-load-carrying vertical wood column to the concrete foundation. 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.
