UNSTIFFENED
1. A seat angle having length equal to width of
beam is selected
2. Outstanding length of angle > ‘b’
3. Bearing Length ‘b’ = (R/tw)(fy/γmo)
4. Also, bearing length on beam b1 = b-(tf+r)
5. The distance of end bearing to seat angle
b2=b1+C-((ta+ra)
1. Mu = R(b2/b1)(b2/2)
2. Moment capacity and shear capacity of seat
angle should be checked.

Problem:
Design a seat angle connection to transfer a load of
100 kN from a beam of ISMB300 onto a column of
SC200. Assume M20 bolts of 4.6 grade and Fe410 grade
of beam and column.
