interfaces are proposed, contemplating the configuration of the
shear keys, the socket and the column base.
After analysis of the theoretical and experimental results, the fol-
lowing conclusions were drawn:
a) For a rough socket foundation to show a behavior similar to
that of a monolithic connection, it is necessary that the shear
keys dimensions be within the limits recommended in the pres-
ent work.
b) The design of the vertical reinforcement of rough sockets must
be based on the bending theory.
c) The horizontal reinforcement of the transverse walls should
be designed following the refined model by Canha et al. [10],
adjusting the values of
o

=b
and
o
r

to better repre-
sent the experimental results.
d) The new model proposed for analysis of rough column base,
calibrated from the socket foundation, was found to present
less conservative longitudinal reinforcement compared to the
model proposed by Campos et al. [3] and adapted for rough
interfaces. The two models were found to provide minimum
transverse reinforcement.
It is worth highlighting that the models proposed in this work are
valid only for rough interface connections in which the embed-
ded length is determined by the Brazilian Standard Code NBR
9062:2006 [6] and for cases of high eccentricity, keeping in mind
that these models were based in experimental observations of
specimens within these situations.
