Design Assumptions
• Beam end plate is at least as strong as the
column flange
• For extended end plate connection, the
two top rows can be taken as acting
together as a group with the combined
potential resistance shared equally
between rows 1 & 2.
• Each lower row is then based on a T-stub
length of vertical pitch ‘p’
