Beam - Column Connection - Ver W2.5.04 - 20 Jul 2010 Title : Web Plate Example Code of Practice : SABS 0162 - 1993 Created : 15-Feb-11 5:37:48 PM Notes and Assumptions
1 2 3 4 5 All bolt holes are assumed to be normal clearance holes. All bolts are assumed to have threads in their shear planes. It is assumed that the connection is deep enough for the flanges to resist the compressive and tensile forces in them. It is assumed that compressive forces in flanges and stiffeners are conveyed through welds and not through bearing. Axial force in the column is not considered in the design.
