In this paper results of experiments with respect to deformation between column and its base plate which was specified in Report 1 are shown. In those experiments welded and riveted specimens were used; one of each was given simple bending and the other was acted upon by eccentric loading. The columns were connected to the both sides of base plates, the centers of column and base plate coinciding with each other. When the connection was riveted remarkable deformation was observed between column and its base plate while no deformation took place in the case of welded construction. It was also confirmed that axial force in column had the effect of reducing the rotation of column base.
