本第二版设计指南旨在以避免常见制造和安装问题的方式，协助工程师和制造商设计、详细说明和规范柱底板和锚杆连接件。本新指南以2005年AISC钢结构建筑规范（AISC 2005）为基础，包括符合荷载和阻力系数设计（LRFD）和容许应力设计（ASD）的设计指南。

This second-edition design guide has been created to assist engineers and fabricators in the design, detailing and specification of column-base-plate and anchor-rod connections, in a manner that avoids common fabrication and erection problems. This new Guide is based on the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 2005) and includes design guidance in accordance with both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD and Allowable Stress Design (ASD).
