To fabricate full scale connections and destructive testing is time consuming
In the seismic region it is required to design the connection for lateral loads

Exposed column base plate connections in moment frames-Simulations
and behavioural insights, A.M. Kanvinde, et. al. (2013)
The response of exposed column base connections under axial and flexural
loadings is controlled by complex interactions of various components within
them, i.e. the column, base plate, anchor rods and footing.
Current approaches for specimens, smaller relative to prototype scale.
Verification of internal stress distributions
3-d FE simulations & experiments with six samples
column - W8x48 and base plate thickness - 25 to 51 mm.
Simulation for larger column size W24 306 (i.e. W600 450 metric) with a
thicker (152 mm) base plate.

LITERATURE REVIEW :
The results of the simulations indicate that current strength characterization and
design approaches (that assume a rectangular bearing stress block) may grossly
misrepresent the stress distribution under the plate.
Thicker base plates tend to concentrate the stresses at the compression toe of the
base plate.
amplified the bending moment - non-conservative approach
Thinner plates distribute the stresses more evenly over the entire zone of
compression.

LITERATURE REVIEW :
Fig. 3 Deformed shape of base plate at peak load for (a) Simulation #1 and (b) Expt. Test #1
Observations obtained from bearing stress contours were
1. The base plate lifts off entirely at the tension end of the connection, this
implies that the plate does not induce prying forces in the rods.
2. the stresses show only modest variation through the width (i.e. out of plane
dimension) of the connection.
This provides a convenient basis for comparison with the design approaches.

Column Base Connections for Hollow Steel Sections: Seismic
Performance and Strength Models A.M. Kanvinde, et. al. (2014)
The seismic response of exposed hollow steel section (HSS) columns to base
plate connections is examined through a series of eight experiments.
The vast majority of experiments feature W-section columns and none examined
the response of HSS or box column base plate connections
The prototype-scale tests variables investigated
base plate size and thickness, column size and
anchor rod layout i.e. four rods in two rows, and eight rods in three rows.
The specimens were subjected to cyclic flexural loadings.
