Moment Connection Design for Beam to Weak Axis Column Based on AISC 360-10/16
DESIGN CRITERIA
1. The moment load, M, is supported by top and bottom flanges, and the
vertical load, P, by beam web. But the axial load, T, may be supported
by flanges/web, or by both, so the design conservatively double
accounts that the axial load fully by both flanges and web.
2. The additional thickness of connection plates and/or shims may
be used to accommodate tolerances for fabrication.
