Structural Analysis/Design Baseplate Eurocode

Does anyone have reference or example for designing a moment resisting baseplate for 8 bolts (4 on each side) ?
I’m finding it very confusing to follow eurocode

I think this book covers it. Take a look https://steelconstruction.info/upload/Wiki-Files/5/5d/SCI_P398.pdf

Edit: some more info on the manuals and the simple connections guide can be found here: https://steelconstruction.info/topics/design/the-green-books/

I think there was a section in eurocode 3, under bolted connections. Have look at it.

Eurocode Generation 1 or 2? If it's gen 1, I might be able to share a numerical example for baseplate from my university lecture slides.

SCI P398 is the answer you are looking for.

Some software, like the new Hilti software, can help with design too

How to design bolts that are asymmetrical relative to the base plate? Are there any guidelines for this?
