This example presents a method for calculating the shear resistance of a roof truss to column flange connection using an end plate. The bolted connection uses non-preloaded bolts (i.e. Category A: Bearing type bolted connection). NOTE: For completeness, all the design checks listed below should be carried out. However, in practice, for normal connections, the checks marked * will usually be the critical ones. In this example, only checks marked with an * are shown in detail. For guidance on the other checks, reference should be made to the NCCI for shear resistance of simple end plate connections [SN014]. Before evaluating resistances, checks are made to ensure sufficient ductility (see Section 1) and to avoid premature weld failure (see Section 2). Joint Shear Resistance

DUCTILITY REQUIREMENTS
The supporting element is a column flange, therefore the connection should comply with the following conditions:
tp or t f,c
d f ub 2.8 f y,p
SN014
d f ub 2.8 f y,c
d f ub 24 800 = = 14.6 mm 2.8 f y,p 2.8 275
t p = 10 mm
Since t p < 14.6 mm , the ductility is ensured.
WELD DESIGN
The supported beam is steel grade S275, so the requirement is the following:
a 0.45t w,b1
0.45 6 = 2.7 mm a = 4 mm
Since a > 2.5 mm, therefore OK.
