Title : Web Plate Example

Code of Practice : AISC - 1999 LRFD
Created : 3/13/2023 9:43:38 PM

Notes and Assumptions

1 All references are formated "EC3 Part : Section" eg: 8 : 3.6.2(3)a.
for Eurocode 1993-1-8 Section 3.6.2(3)a.
2 All bolt holes are assumed to be normal clearance holes.
3 All bolts are assumed to have threads in their shear planes.
4 It is assumed that the connection is deep enough for the flanges
to resist the compressive and tensile forces in them.
5 It is assumed that compressive forces in flanges and stiffeners
are conveyed through welds and not through bearing.
6 Axial force in the column is not considered in the design.
7 Longitudinal welds of the web plate/s shall be full size groove welds.
8 Transverse welds of the web plate/s shall be full size fillet welds.
