For design, core section should be taken with outstand limited to 14tqε
bs = minimum of 97mm or 14*tq*ε
(IS:800-2007,Cl.8.7.1.2)
bs = 97 mm
Provide plate of width = 95.00 mm

CHECK FOR BEARING STRENGTH (IS:800-2007,Cl.8.7.5.2)

Force to be carried by stiffeners, Fx = Flange force - Fw (IS:800-2007,Cl.8.7.6)

= 1086.56 - 599.56

= 487.00 KN

Total load to be carried out by stiffeners should always be less than the bearing strength of stiffener.
Bearing strength of the stiffeners is given by
A q * f yq
Fpsd = (IS:800-2007,Cl.8.7.5.2)
where, 0 . 8 *  mo
Aq = Area of stiffener in contact with flange

Ymo = 1.1
So to get min thickness of the stiffener, Equating

Load transferred through stiffeners = Bearing strength of the stiffeners

Fx = Fpsd
487.0 = Aq*250
0.8*1.1
Aq = 487*1000*0.8*1.1

Total area of stiffeners in contact with flange Aq = 1714.24 mm
Area of one stiffener in contact with flange = 857.12 mm2

Thickness of stiffener . T4 = Area of stiffener/width of stiffener

= 857.12/80
= 10.7 mm

Hence providing continuity plates of thickness, T4 = 16 mm

Design of Weld for Continuity Plates

Flange force, Fw = 1086.6 KN

Thickness of stiffener = 16.0 mm

End fillet weld, normal to the direction of force shall be of unequal size with a throat thickness not less than 0.5t,

Effective min throat thickness of weld = 0.5*twcol (IS:800-2007,Cl.10.5.8.5)

Effective min size of weld = 0.5*12/0.7 mm (IS:800-2007, Table:22)
= 8.57 mm

Weld strength = 0.7 * 10 * fu

√3*ϒmw

fu = 410
Strength of weld for shop weld = 1325.6 N/mm of weld length

Chamfer size as chosen = 15

Strength of weld = 1325.6*4*{(558.4-2*O1213)+(95-O1213)*2}

≥ 1086.56 KN, Hence SAFE

Provide a weld of size = 10.0 mm

CHECK FOR COLUMN WEB THICKNESS

Thickness of column web/doubler plate shall satisfy following criteria (IS:800-2007,Cl.12.11.2.4)

t ≥ (d p + b p )
where, 90
dp = panel zone depth between continuity plate
