    The document discusses the design of moment connections for steel beams including checking bolt sizes and capacities as well as calculating end plate and stiffener dimensions.

    The design parameters considered include beam depth, design moment and shear, number and size of bolts, axial force, flange force distribution to bolts.

    The end plate thickness was calculated by first finding the bending moment in the end plate, and then using that value in the formula for required plate thickness given in the AISC specification.

    End Plate Moment Connection (Unstiffened, 2 Bolt Columns )

    Depth, d = 520.00 mm
    Width of flange, bf = 250.00 mm
    = 9.84 in
    Thickness of flange, tf = 10.00 mm
    Thickness of web, tw = 8.00 mm
    *** Area of web = 4160.00 mm2
    Pf = Distance between center of top flange to top bolt
    = 75.00 mm
    Edge distance, de = 60.00 mm

    Number of rows of bolt,n1 = 4 Design Moment M = 188.00 kNm


    Number of Columns, c1 = 2 Design Shear V = 41.00 kN
    Total number of bolts, n2 = 8 Axial force P = 39.00 kN (Tension)

    Flange Force, F = M / d = 361.54 kN


    Number of bolts effective in taking the tension force, n3 = 4
    Considering equal force shared by each bolt
    Tensile force in Bolts,T = F / n3 + P / n2 = 95.26 kN = 21.42 kips
    Try db = 24 mm dia bolts A325 N

    Check for Shear

    Shear per bolt (V/n2) = 5.125 kN


    Shear capacity per bolt = 14.73 kips = 65.50 kN AISC, Table 1D
    > Actual Shear = 5.125 kN OK
    Check for Tension:

    Area of bolt (a) = 4.52 cm2 = 0.7012 in2


    Shear per bolt (V/n2) = 5.125 kN = 1.15 kips

    = 43.87 ksi < 44.0 ksi OK AISC, Table J3.2
    Max.Tension allowable per bolt, B= 30.76 kips = 136.83 kN
    Actual Tension per bolt T = 95.26 kN

    Provide 6 mm fillet weld.


    Gage, g = 110.00 mm
    Width of end plate, bp = 250.0 mm = 9.84 in
    The effective bolt distance Pe used to compute the bending moment in the end plate may be taken as :
    Pe = Pf - tf / 2- (db / 4) - 0.707w = 59.76 mm AISC Pg.4-119 Vol 1
    Ca = 1.11 [Ca =1.13 for beam Fy=36ksi and Ca= 1.11 for beam Fy=50ksi] Fy = 50
    Cb = SQRT( bf / bp ) = 1.000 [For proportionality between width of flange and end plate]
    Af = Area of tension flange = 2500.00 mm2
    Aw = Web area, clear of flanges = 4000.00 mm2
    Af / Aw = 0.625
    Pe / db = 2.490
    am = Ca* Cb*(Af/Aw)1/3(Pe/db)1/4 = 1.192
    Me = a m* F * Pe/4 = 6439019.73 N-mm

    Required plate thickness = tp = SQRT(6Me/(bp*Pbc)) Pbc = 0.75 Fy = 258.5 N/mm2


    = 24.45 mm

    Therefore provide 25mm thick & 250 mm wide end plate OK

    The bending of the plate is analyzed as two beams perpendicular to each other with the following behavior :
    a) Both the beams have the same stiffness, since the plate is of uniform thickness
    b) Both the beams have the same deflection at mid point
    c) Both the beams are fixed-end, with bolt-lines as the fixed locations

    Let Bolt Load = Pb = 95.3 kN


    Bolt load distribution, from two bolts, to element 1 = P1
    Bolt load distribution, from two bolts, to element 2 = P2
    Distance from centre of bolt to centre of element 1 = L1/ 2 = 55.0 mm
    Distance from centre of bolt to centre of element 2= L2/ 2 = 85.0 mm

    Assuming deflections due to the two system of loads to be equal, say D


    So, P1 * L13 / 192EI = P2 * L23 / 192EI
    or, P1 = P2 * (L2 / L1)3

    Again, 2Pb = P1 + P2
    or, P1 = 2Pb - P2

    Substituting value of P1 in above equation


    2Pb - P2 = P2 * (L2 / L1)3
    or, 2Pb = P2 + P2 * (L2 / L1)3
    or, 2Pb = P2 * [ 1+ (L2 / L1)3 ]

    Hence, P2 = 2Pb / [ 1+ (L2 / L1)3 ] = 40.6 kN

    Similarly, P1 = 2Pb / [ 1+ (L1 / L2)3 ] = 149.9 kN
