Beam - Column Connection - Ver W2.5.03 - 21 Oct 2010

Title : Default Connection

Code of Practice : AISC - 1999 LRFD
Created : 7/19/2013 4:39:44 AM

Notes and Assumptions

1 All bolt holes are assumed to be normal clearance holes.
2 All bolts are assumed to have threads in their shear planes.
3 It is assumed that the connection is deep enough for the flanges
to resist the compressive and tensile forces in them.
4 It is assumed that compressive forces in flanges and stiffeners
are conveyed through welds and not through bearing.
5 Axial force in the column is not considered in the design.

Check 7 : Bolt tension and Column Flange Bending

The worst load is encountered for Load Case : 1

Fmax = 33.125 kN
The resistance is the smaller of the 3 possible failure modes :

Mode 1 : Complete yielding of the flange

R1 = 1000
m
4 ×0.32805 + 2 ×0
