Design ofm om ent connection end plate

This sheet is based on m ethod that bases on the follow ing assum tion

1. That the clam bing force is acting on the bolts and neighbourhood ofthe w ashers.
2. The resulting tension force is assum ed to be proportionalto their lever arm s.
3. The com pression transm itted via low er beam .
