Design of seating
The arm of the angle should be long enough to adjust bearing and clearance beyond its critical section
The distance of end reaction from critical section, e =
clearance + 0.5*b-tw-r1= 1.7
Bending moment at the critical section in the angle, M =
End Reaction (R) * e = 0.03
Length of seating , L =(at least equal to the width of flange of Beam) = 100
Moment of Resistance of the seating connection, Mr = fy*Zp/gm
fy= yeild strength
Zp = Plastic Section Modulus = L*t2/4
where, t = thickness of Seating Plate
(for rectangular section) Zp=
Therefore , by equating Mr and M we get t

Design of Weld in seating Angle

Provide vertical weld at both sides of seat angle along its full depth

Moment developed at the weld, M= R * er = 0.3
Horizontal shear stress developed in the weld = M/(2*Zp)
