    This document contains an assignment for a structural steel design course. It includes 4 questions asking students to design various steel connections, including: 1) A 4-bolt end plate connection between a W21x62 beam and W14x120 column subjected to seismic loading. 2) An 8-bolt extended stiffened end plate connection subjected to seismic loading. 3) A base plate connection for a W12x96 column subjected to axial and moment loads. 4) A base plate connection for a W14x120 column subjected to higher axial and moment loads, including anchor rod design. Students are instructed to show detailing on sketches for all designs.

    CE 6121: Advanced Structural Steel Design

    Course Teacher: Prof. Dr. K.M. Amanat


    Term: April 2020

    Assignment-6: Connections

    Answers to all questions/problems must be accompanied by relevant


    drawings/illustrations/figures/sketches etc. for easier understanding.

    For solving the problems, use design formulas and avoid using charts from manual.

    1. Using cyclic/seismic loading, a four-bolt extended unstiffened (4E) end-plate


    connection is to be designed to connect a W21×62 beam to a W14×120
    column. The beam and column material are ASTM A992 (Fy=50 ksi, Fu=65
    ksi) steel and the end plate is ASTM A572 Gr. 50 steel (Fy=50 ksi, Fu=65 ksi).
    ASTM A490 bolts are to be used. The required shear resistance, Vu, is 45 kips.
    (Follow LRFD). Show the final design on neat sketches indicating all the
    required detailing.

    2. Design an eight-bolt extended stiffened (8ES) end-plate connection,


    subjected to cyclic/seismic loading using the data given in question 1.

    3. Design a base plate for axial dead and live loads equal to 120 and 180 kips,
    respectively, and moments from the dead and live loads equal to 250 and 400
    kip-in., respectively. Bending is about the strong axis for the wide flange
    column W12×96 with d = 12.7 in. and bf = 12.2 in. The ratio of the concrete
    to base plate area is unity; Fy of the base plate is 36 ksi and fc’ of the concrete
    is 4 ksi. Show the final design on neat sketches indicating all the required
    detailing.

    4. Design a base plate for axial dead and live loads equal to 100 and 200 kips,
    respectively, and moments from the dead and live loads equal to 1,200 and
    1,600 kip-in., respectively. Bending is about the strong axis for a W14×120
    wide flange column. Conservatively, consider the ratio of the concrete to base
    plate area is unity; Fy of the base plate is 36 ksi and fc′ of concrete is 4 ksi.
    (Follow LRFD). Design the anchor rod requirement also. [Hint: Follow AISC
    Guide-1 design examples]. Show the final design on neat sketches indicating
    all the required detailing.
