Moment End-Plate Connection Design (Flush Type)

Design Forces

Design Moment M = 1989 kNm

Design Shear V = 592 kN
Axial force P = 0 kN
*-*ve for comression and *+*ve for tension
Consider

End-late material yield stress, Fpy= 265 N/mm^2

Allowable shear stress of bolts= 72 N/mm^2
Nominal Tensile strength of Bolts, F t= 785 N/mm^2 ,90 ksi for A 325, 113 ksi for A490
φ= 0.75
φb= 0.90

Geometric Design Data

Width of flange, bf = 265.00 mm
End plate width, bp = 265.00 mm
Thickness of flange, tf = 17.50 mm
Bolt gage, g = 100.00 mm
pf = 60.00 mm
pb = 90.00 mm
h= 1304.00 mm
Web thickness, tw 12.80 mm
Number of rows of bolt,n = 10 (Max, n=10)

∑dn= 8128 mm
h1= 1227 mm
hn= 408 mm
γr = 1.25 for flush connections

Maxial= P/2*(h-tf)
= 0 kNm
M= M+Maxial
= 1989 kNm
Mu= 1.5*(M+Maxial)
= 2984 kNm
Flange Force, Ff= M/(h-tf)
= 1505 kN
1. required bolt dia, db,req
= (2*Mu /(∏*φ*Ft*∑dn))^0.5
= 19.9 mm
Acceted, db = 20 mm

2. Solve for end plate thickness, tp,reqd,

s= 1/2*(bp*g)^0.5
= 81 mm
pf = 60.00 mm ≤s 60.00 mm = pf, use
Y= bp/2*(h1/pf+h2/s)+2/g*(h1*(pf+0.75pb)+h2*(s+0.25*pb)) + g/2
= 22111 mm
Pt= ∏*db *Ft/4
2

= 247 kN
φMnp= φ(2*Pt*(∑dn))
= 868 kNm

tp,reqd = sqrt(1.1*γr*(φMnp)/(φb*Fpy*Y))
= 15.0 mm
Use, tp = 16.0 mm
3. Check for Shear

Shear per bolt (V/(2*n)) = 6.65 kips

Shear capacity per bolt = 5.09 kips Not Ok

4. Weld design
a) Top Flange to end plate weld
Dreqd= Ff/((2*(bf -tf)-tw)*0.928)
= 19.2
Use 20 /16 inch

b) Beam web to end plate weld

D= 0.6*Fy*tw/(2*0.928)
6.26
Use 7 /16 inch
