Please note the following points:

1) This sheet is for Extended end plate moment connections only.

2) This sheet is for column to rafter, column to column and rafter to rafter connections only.
3) This sheet should not be used to check the truss vertical & diagonal connections with either top / bottom chord.
4) The bolt capacities are considered for fully threaded bolts only.
5) It is to be noted that bolt capacity of A325 grade are bit higher than Gr. 8.8
6) It is often said that two threads must be exposed above a nut. The reason for this is that the first two threads
of a bolt are often poorly formed, and may not engage the nut properly. If they're not doing their share, the other
threads in the nut will be overloaded, and the nut may strip.
7) The thickness of the stiffener plate should not be less than the thickness of the web.
8) CJP denotes complete joint penetration weld.
9) The size of the stiffener is 125x200 for upto 36mm dia bolts and 150x250 for more than 36mm dia bolts.
ns with either top / bottom chord.

his is that the first two threads

re not doing their share, the other

more than 36mm dia bolts.
