SUMMARY OF BEAM-COLUMN CONNECTION DESIGN

Vcon
connection's allowable shear
Mcon
connection's allowable moment
V
maximum shear forces in connection (from FEA output)
M
maximum moment in connection from (FEA output)
Vcon > V , therefore connection design is adequate to resisting the external loads
Mcon > M , therefore connection design is adequate to resisting the external moment
