The Design Guide 1: Base Plate and Anchor Rod Design is a standard created by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) to provide guidance on the design, detailing, and specification of column-base-plate and anchor-rod connections. The aim of this standard is to help engineers and fabricators avoid common fabrication and erection problems related to these connections.

The second edition of this design guide is based on the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings and offers design guidance according to both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD). LRFD is a design method that accounts for the variability in loads and material strengths, while ASD uses a factor of safety with known loads and material strengths.

This standard is intended for use by professionals involved in the design and construction of steel structures. It provides detailed information on the design of base plates and anchor rods, including calculation methods, required properties of materials, and recommended construction practices.
