i) Checking of Shear Web Welding Strength, φ x Rn = φ x Awe x Fnw [J2-3]

φ= 0.75
1.5
Fnw = 0.6xFexx(1.0+0.50Sin Ɵ) Fexx = 414 Mpa 60 ksi
0
Awe = lw x 0.707s Ɵ= 0
Welding strength, lw = 180 mm Side = 2
φ x Rn = 402408 N s= 6 mm
= 40.25 Ton >22.75Ton, Hence O.K.
[Only web weld is considered]

ii) Checking Against of Bolts shear,φ x Rn = φ x Ab x Fnv ,

φ= 0.75 Bolts Geometry
Area of shank, Ab = 315 mm2 No of row = 3
Shear Plane = 1 No of col = 2
Design Shear Strength, No of bolts in each row = 2
φ x Rn = 78435 N/Bolts No of bolts in each col.= 3
= 7.85 Ton/Bolts Egde distance along guage, = 30 mm(min)
No. of Bolts Reqd. = 2.9 Nos Guage distance, = 60 mm
Pitch distance, = 60 mm
Egde distance along pitch, = 30 mm(min)
iii) Checking of Face Plate for Bolts Bearing for Connecting Member
a) Nominal Bearing strength of face plate per bolts, φ x Rn = φx2.4dtFu
φ= 0.75
Thickness of face plate,t = 10 mm
Design Bearing Strength at bolts hole,
φ x Rn = 144360 N/Bolts
14.44 Ton/Bolts

b) Nominal Tearout strength on face plate per bolts, φ x Rn = φ x 1.2xLc x t x Fu

Lc = 19 mm [For Edge bolts,

38 mm [For Interior bolts
Available Tearout strength,
φ x Rn = 68571 N/Bolts [For Edge bolts,
= 6.86 Ton/Bolts
= 137142 N/Bolts [For Interior bolts
= 13.72 Ton/Bolts

Total Design Bearing Strength at bolts hole = 54.88 Ton >22.75Ton, Hence O.K.
[As the edge end of the face plate along pitch is restrained by weld, so the edge tearout strength
is not considered]

iv) Checking of Face Plate for Bolts Bearing for Supported Member

[As the face plate thickness is same of connecting member so further check of bearing strength
is not required for the supported member]

v) Checking of Supported Member Against Torsional, Flexural Buckling etc

Eccentricity , e = 81.45 mm
Moment,M = 1.86 Ton-m Different checking is pending
As the junction of the connection is fully restrained by web stiffeners so further check is not
required for this case.
