1.1.1.1
lf the beam rests in line with the bracket stiffener, Type B, Figure 3, the bearing
length ( N) of the beam ( AISC See 1.10.10) is-
Lv = column length
AISC Manual, page 4-39 recommends for A36 bracket material that the bracket web's
thickness be at least equal to 1.33 times the required fillet weld size ( E70 welds).
Also it should not be less than the supported beam web thickness for A7, A373 and
A36 beams, and not less than 1.4 times the beam web thickness for A242 and A441
beams.
BRACKETS
For stiffened seats in line on opposite sides of the column web, the fillet weld size
should not exceed 3/4 the column web thickness when determining its length(Lv).
2 BS APPROACH
The outside edge of the welded column bracket, shown in Fig. 25.4, is in compression
and provided that a reasonably conservative approach is used in calculating the
extreme fibre stress, semi-Compact criteria for the outstand are appropriate (i.e.
).
With relatively light loads, this may require an unnecessarily thick stiffener. To
overcome the problem, the simple design approach of substituting fa for P y in the
formula for E, so that
,
where
fa = 1.5 X the extreme fibre compressive stress (at factored loading) can be
used.
