Steel column base plates are one of the most ndamental parts of a steel structure yet the design of base plates is commonly not given the attention that it should by engineers.
Hss column base plate design.
The forces and deformations from the structural analyses used to design the column base plate connection are dependent on the choice of the column base plate connection details.
Of the column base plate connection in the elastic and plastic ranges and for seismic loading possibly even the cyclic force deformation relations.
45 degree progression bending planes vs aisc hss base plate bending planes.

Base plate and anchor rod design 2nd edition.
Designing column base plates for uplift.
Note the aisc design guide 1 base plate design procedure for wf columns if used for hss columns would assume a bending plane at the face of the hss column and the portion of the plate beyond the column as a cantilever.
The dimension between the anchor bolt and the bending plane is the moment arm to be used in solving for the base plate thickness.
Design of column base plates typical column bases as shown below consist of a single plate fillet welded to the end of the column and attached to the foundation with four holding down bolts.

He dimension between the anchor bolt and the t bending plane is the moment arm to be used in solving for the base plate.
This results in base plate details that are expensive difficult to fabricate and may even contribute to the hazards.
The bolts are cast into the concrete base in location tubes or cones and are fitted with anchor plates to prevent pull out.
