Moment End-Plate Connection Design (Flush Type)

Design Forces

Design Moment M1 = 1740 kNm 15400.74 k-in

Axial force P = -75 kN -16.90 kips *+*ve for comression and *-*ve for tension
Design Shear V = 40 kN 8.99 kips

Consider

End-late material yield stress, F py= 50.0 ksi 345 N/mm^2

Nominal Tensile strength of Bolts, Ft= 90.0 ksi 621 N/mm^2 ,90 ksi for A 325, 113 ksi for A490
Allowable shear stress of bolts= 10.5 ksi 72 N/mm^2
φ= 0.75
φb= 0.90

Geometric Design Data

Width of flange, bf = 200.00 mm 7.87 inch
End plate width, bp = 200.00 mm 7.87 inch
Thickness of flange, tf = 11.00 mm 0.43 inch
Bolt gage, g = 70.00 mm 2.76 inch
pf = 50.00 mm 1.969 inch
pb = 90.00 mm 3.54 inch
h= 1340.00 mm 52.76 inch
Web thickness, tw 8.00 mm 0.31 inch
Number of rows of bolt,n = 3

Calculate
d1 = 1200 mm 47.24 inch
d2= 1110 mm 43.70 inch
d3= 1020 mm 40.16 inch
d4= 930 mm 36.61 inch
d5= 840 mm 33.07 inch
d6= 750 mm 29.53 inch
d7= 660 mm 25.98 inch
h1= 1195 mm 47.0 inch
h2= 655 mm 25.8 inch
γr = 1.25 for flush connections

Maxial= P/2*(h-tf)
= -442.13 k-in
M= M1-Maxial
= 15842.87 kips
 Mu= 1.5*(M-Maxial)
= 24427.50 k-in
Flange Force, Ff= M/(h-tf)
= 297.86 kips

1. required bolt dia, db,req

= (2*Mu /(∏*φ*Ft*∑dn))^0.5
= 0.948 inch 24.1 mm
Acceted, db = 25 mm 1.0 inch

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

s= 1/2*(bp*g)^0.5
= 2.33 inch 59 mm
pf = 50.00 mm ≤s 50.00 mm = pf, use
= 1.97 inch
Y= bp/2*(h1/pf+h2/s)+2/g*(h1*(pf+0.75pb)+h2*(s+0.25*pb)) + g/2
= 357.0 inch 9067.47 mm
2
Pt= ∏*db *Ft/4
= 68.48 kips
φMnp= φ(2*Pt*(∑dn))
= 9341.5 k-in

tp,reqd = sqrt(1.1*γr*(φMnp)/(φb*Fpy*Y))
= 0.894 inch 23.0 mm

3. Check for Shear

Shear per bolt (V/(2*n)) = 1.50 kips 7 kN

Shear capacity per bolt = 7.99 kips 36 kN ≥ Applied shear per bolt ok

4. Weld design
a) Top Flange to end plate weld
Dreqd= Ff/((2*(bf -tf)-tw)*0.928)
= 22.0 sixteenths
Use 23 /16 inch fillet welds

b) Beam web to end plate weld

D= 0.6*Fy*tw/(2*0.928)
5.09 sixteenths
Use 6 /16 inch fillet welds
