1. The document provides design forces and geometric data for the design of an end-plate connection including a design moment of 1600 kNm, shear of 40 kN, and axial force of 75 kN.
2. Calculations are shown to determine the required bolt diameter of 24mm, required end plate thickness of 15mm, and that the shear per bolt is less than the allowable capacity.
3. Weld sizes are determined to be 21/16 inches for the top flange to end plate weld and 6/16 inches for the beam web to end plate weld.

Design Shear V = 40 kN 8.99 kips Axial force P = 75 kN 16.90 kips *-*ve for comression and *+*ve for tension Consider
End-late material yield stress, Fpy= 345 N/mm^2 50.0 ksi
Nominal Tensile strength of Bolts, F t= 620 N/mm^2 89.9 ksi ,90 ksi for A 325, 113 ksi for A490 Allowable shear stress of bolts= 72 N/mm^2 10.4 ksi φ= 0.75 φb= 0.90
Geometric Design Data
Width of flange, bf = 200.00 mm 7.87 inch End plate width, bp = 200.00 mm 7.87 inch Thickness of flange, tf = 11.00 mm 0.43 inch Bolt gage, g = 70.00 mm 2.76 inch pf = 50.00 mm 1.969 inch pb = 90.00 mm 3.54 inch h= 1340.00 mm 52.76 inch Web thickness, tw 8.00 mm 0.31 inch Number of rows of bolt,n = 5
Calculate d1 = 1400 mm 55.12 inch d2= 1310 mm 51.57 inch d3= 1220 mm 48.03 inch d4= 1130 mm 44.49 inch d5= 1040 mm 40.94 inch ∑dn= 6100 mm 240.16 inch h1= 1395 mm 54.9 inch h5= 1035 mm 40.7 inch γr = 1.25 for flush connections

2. Solve for end plate thickness, tp,reqd,
s= 1/2*(bp*g)^0.5 = 59 mm 2.33 inch pf = 50.00 mm 1.97 inch ≤s 50.00 mm = pf, use Y= bp/2*(h1/pf+h2/s)+2/g*(h1*(pf+0.75pb)+h2*(s+0.25*pb)) + g/2 = 25086 mm 987.6 inch Pt= ∏*db *Ft/4 2

φMnp= φ(2*Pt*(∑dn)) = 1140 kNm 10091.3 k-in
tp,reqd = sqrt(1.1*γr*(φMnp)/(φb*Fpy*Y)) = 14.2 mm 0.559 inch Use, tp = 15.0 mm 3. Check for Shear
Shear per bolt (V/(2*n)) = 0.90 kips 4 kN
Shear capacity per bolt = 7.32 kips 33 kN ≥ Applied shear per bolt ok
4. Weld design a) Top Flange to end plate weld Dreqd= Ff/((2*(bf -tf)-tw)*0.928) = 20.3 sixteenths Use 21 /16 inch fillet welds
b) Beam web to end plate weld
