DESIGN OF CONNECTION:
DESIGN OF WELD BETWEEN BEAM FLANGE & END PLATE
Thickness of weld required (in flange) = T / 2 W b Fuw

= 379.286 x 1000 / (2 x 173.2 x 0.707 x 123)

= 12.59 mm
Provide FPBW of the beam flange - Top & Bottom

DESIGN OF WELD BETWEEN BEAM WEB & END PLATE

Thickness of weld required (in web) = S / 2 db Fuw

= (291.011 x 1000) / (2 x 311.6 x 0.707 x 123)

BOLT SHEAR CAPACITY

Allowable Shear capacity per bolt R = Ab Fv

Allowable Shear Capacity of Bolt group = 10.23 x 4 x 2
= 81.81 kips = 363.59 kN
> 65.477 kips > 291 kN
Hence O.k Hence O.k
BOLT TENSION CAPACITY
Allowable Tensile capacity per bolt = Ab Ft

= 0.487 x 44
 MOMENT CONNECTION DESIGN - BS CODE

Allowable Tensile Capacity of Bolt group = 21.43 x 2 x 2
= 85.703 kips = 380.90 kN
> 85.339 kips > 379.286 kN
Hence O.k Hence O.k
BEARING CAPACITY OF BOLT ON END PLATE
Bolt bearing on End plate Rpe = 2 (0.5 Fu eb tep)

= 2 x (0.5 x 59.45 x 1.97 x 0.79)

= 92.148 kips
Rps = 2 (1.2 Fu tep db pb)

= 2 x (1.2 x 59.45 x 0.787 x 0.787 x 2.756)

= 243.792 kips
Rp = min (Rpe+Rps (or) 1.2 Fu tep db pb)

= min [(92.148 + 243.792) , (1.2 x 59.45 x 0.787 x 0.787 x 2.756)]

= 121.896 kips
> 65.477 kips
Hence O.k
BEARING CAPACITY OF BOLT ON COLUMN FLANGE
Bolt bearing on Column Flange Rpe = 2 (0.5 Fu eb tf)

= 2 (0.5 x 59.45 x 1.97 x 0.68)

= 79.708 kips
Rps = 2 (1.2 Fu tf db pb)

= 2 (1.2 x 59.45 x 0.681 x 0.787 x 2.756)

= 210.880 kips
Rp = min (Rpe+Rps (or) 1.2 Fu tf db pb)

= min [(79.708 + 210.88) , (1.2 x 59.45 x 0.681 x 0.787 x 2.756)]

> 65.477 kips
Hence O.k
BOLT SUBJECTED TO COMBINED SHEAR & TENSION
Actual shear force per bolt = 65.48 / 4 x 2
= 8.185 kips
Actual shear stress per bolt = 8.185 / 0.487
= 16.808 ksi
Actual tensile force per bolt = 85.34 / 4 x 2
= 10.667 kips
Actual tensile stress per bolt = 10.667 / 0.487
= 21.907 ksi
Combined stress for Bolt = (16.808 / 21) + (21.907 / 44)
= 1.298 < 1.400

PRYING CHECK
Thickness required when no prying action tc = (8 B b' / p Fy)
b = (G - tw) / 2

= (5.512 - 0) / 2
= 2.756 inch
b' = b - db/2

= 2.756 - (0.787 / 2)
= 2.362 inch
p (or) W c = 10.091 inch
a' = eb - db/2

= 1.969 + (0.787 / 2)
= 2.362 inch
= 2.362 / 2.362
= 1.000
B (or) Tcb = 21.426 kips
tc = sqrt ((8 x 21.426 x 2.362) / (10.091 x 38.425))

Thickness provided > 0.787 inch
Check for prying
2
Prying force per bolt Q = B (t/tc)
= 1 - dh/ p

= 1 - (0.906 / 10.091)

Tension per bolt Tact = 85.339 / (4 x 2)

= 10.667 kips

= 1 / [ ((Tact/B) / (tep/tc) ) - 1]

= 1 / 0.91(((10.667 / 21.426) / (0.787 / 1.022)^2) - 1)

= -0.177
Q = 21.426 x 0.91 x -0.177 x 1 (0.787 / 1.022)^2
= -2.053 kips
Total tension per bolt Ta = Tact + Q

= 10.667 + -2.053
= 8.614 kips
< 21.426 kips
Hence O.k
COLUMN FLANGE BENDING
Column flange thickness required Tf (reqd) = 0.4 (T/Fy)

= 0.4 x sqrt(85.339 / 38.425)
