MOMENT -DL = 4.5 KIPS
MOMENT -LL = 13.5 KIPS
REQUIRED LOAD AS PER ASCE 7

TOTAL LOAD -ASD = DL + LL KIPS

= 30 KIPS

TOTAL MOMENT -ASD = 18 KIPS.ft

TENSION LOAD IN BOLT =

CALCULATE BOLT TENSION -T & COMPRESSIVE FORCE -C ASSUMING THAT COMPRESSIVE FORCE ACTING AT THE FACE
OF THE COLUMN

Pa = 30 KIPS
= C-2T
THEREFORE -C = Pa + 2T
Ma = 18 KIPS.ft

NO.OF TENSION SIDE BOLTS = 2.00 NOS
TENSION PER BOLT = 5.05 KIPS/BOLT

PRYING ACTION
Beam flange thickness checking for prying as per part 9 AISC manual

Bolt gauge -g = 3.5 in.

Gauge -b (bolt from beam web face to center of bolt) = 1.5925 in.
distance from face of bolt to face of web -b' = 1.2175 in.

tributary length per pair of bolts in perpendicular direction which should not exceed gauge distance
p = 3.5 in.

thickness required for prying - tmin = SQRT((6.66XTXb')/(pxFu)) in.

= 0.42 in.
= safe
hence ,no prying action

Cap plate prying action

bolt c/c distance = 11 inch
column depth /width = 8 inch
dist.from column face to cl. Of bolt = 1.5 inch
dist.from column face to face. Of bolt = 1.125 inch

tributary length per pair of bolts in perpendicular

direction which should preferably not exceed gauge
distance-g = p inch
= half of width of cap plate
= 4.5 inch

gauge limitaion given in 9-11 of AISC manual does not

apply to this configuration because with bending
checked at the face of HSS and gauge intrupted by HSS
an artificially large value of g - results
thickness required for prying - tmin = SQRT((6.66XTXb')/(pxFu)) in.
= 0.38 in.
safe

check for bolt tension capacity

tension capacity of 3/4 in. A325 BOLT -rn/Ω As per table -7-2
= 19.9 kips/bolt
actual tension = 5.05 kips/bolt
Bolt is safe in tension

Beam web local yeilding

compressive force -C for yeilding = Pa + 2T
