2. TENSION ZONE
Assume a distribution of bolt forces with Rows 1 and 2 acting separately due to tension stiffener plate
but with equal distribution of force.

For the End Plate,

- distance from bolt center to end plate end

2) Check Column Flange Yielding

For column flange bending the method uses the Eurocode 3 approach which converts the complex pattern of yield lines
which occurs round the bolt into a simple "equivalent tee-stub".

The end plate design for bolt row 2 will not be critical due to the strengthening effect of the web
compared to the end plate extension.

The end plate design for subsequent bolt rows will not be critical as the end plate is
thicker than the column flange.

STEP 2B

Two localized effects, which are strain-hardening and dispersion into the web at the root of the section, will account for

6. COLUMN WEB PANEL SHEAR

The column web must also resist the horizontal panel shear forces. To carry out this check, any connection at the opposite
flange of the column must also be taken into account, since it is the resultant of the shears which must be bourn by the web.
For a balanced two-sided connection this check is unnecessary.
In a one-sided connection with no axial force, the web panel shear F v is equal to the compressive force Fc.

7. COMPRESSION STIFFENER DESIGN

STEP 6A

1) Stiffener Capacity in Compression

The resistance in the compression zone, Pc of a column web reinforced with full depth stiffener as shown in the figure below
is the lower value from equation (2.11) and (2.12) below. This must equal or exceed the compressive force F c, derived in Ch. 3.
In addition further check must be made to ensure that the stiffeners alone can carry in bearing, 80% of the applied force,
see equation (2.13). (This is usually the formular which governs.)
- net area of stiffener in contact with column flange
Asn =
( 300 - 10 - 2 x 18 ) x 12
=

3048.0 mm2

- compressive capacity of stiffeners for bearing

Pc =
Asn x Pys / 0.8
=
3048 x 325 / ( 0.8 * 1000 )
=

1238.3 kN

The stiffener plate on tension side need not be checked since tension force would not be
larger than compression.

8. VERTICAL SHEAR IN BOLTS

Assuming slip-critical type connection designed to be non-slip under factored loads condition, the slip resistance
should be checked as recommended in BS 5950-1, 6.4.2 and 6.4.5
NOTE: The resistance of a friction grip condition to slip in service is a serviceablilty criterion, but for ease of use it is
presented in a modified form, suitable for checking under factored loads.
- the slip resistance of a preloaded bolt
PsL = 0.9 x Ks x x Po
where,

71.3 kN

Refer BS 5950-1 6.4.2

=0.5 "Blasted with shot or grit, loose rust removed, no pitting",
