    This document provides an example of designing a bolted end plate connection between a steel beam and column. It involves calculating: 1) The tensile force in the bolts which is 97.6 kN. 2) The minimum required end plate thickness of 30 mm to resist the bending moment of 2440 N-m. 3) The prying force on the bolts of 32.65 kN which is less than the allowable value. 4) Checking the combined shear and tension demand is less than the bolt capacity. The connection design is determined to be safe.

    Examples
    1.

    Design a bolted end plate connection between an ISMB 400 beam and an

    ISHB 200 @ 40 kg/m column so as to transfer a hogging factored bending


    moment of 150 KN-m and a vertical factored shear of 150 KN. Use HSFG bolts
    of diameter 22 mm.

    Assume 6 HSFG 8.8 grade bolts of 22mm dia and 180 600-mm end plate as
    shown in figure.

    1) Bolt forces
    Taking moment about the center of the bottom flange and neglecting the
    contribution of bottom bolts and denoting the force in the top bolts by F
    4F x 384 = 150 x 103
    F = 97.6 kN
    Tension Resistance of the bolt Tf = Tnf / mb
    Tnf = 0.9 x fub x An fyb x Asb x m1 x m0
    Asb = / 4 222 = 380.13 mm2
    An = 0.8 x Asb = 304.1 mm2
    Tnf = 0.9 x 800 x 304.11 = 218.96 KN < 276.458 KN (fyb x Asb x m1 / m0)
    Tf = 218.96 / 1.25 = 175.168 KN
    Design tension capacity of bolt = 175.168 kN
    Allowable prying force Q = 175.168 - 97.6 = 77.568 kN

    2) Thickness of end plate assuming 10 mm fillet weld to connect the beam with

    end plate, distance from center line of bolt to toe of fillet weld b = 60-10 = 50 mm;
    end plate width be = 180 mm effective width of end plate per bolt w = be/2 =
    180/2 = 90 mm

    Mp = F x b /2 = 97.6 x 10 3 x 50 / 2 = 2440 N-m


    tmin = ( 1.15 x 4 x Mp / py x w) = 22.33 mm
    provide (T ) 30 mm thick end plate

    3) Design for prying action distance from the centre line of bolt to prying force n
    is the minimum of edge distance or 1.1 T Po/Py = 1.1 x 30 (2 x 512/250) =
    55.66 mm

    so, n = 40 mm moment at the toe of the weld = Fb - Qn = 97.6 50 77.568


    40 = 2412 N-m moment capacity = (py/1.15) x (wT2/4)
    = (250/1.15)(90 x 302/4) = 4402 N-m > 2412 N-m Safe !

    97.6

    2 x 40
    27 x 40 x 502

    = 32.65 KN < allowable prying force


    Hence Safe!

    4) Check for combined shear and tension


    Shear capacity of 22 dia HSFG bolt Vsdf = 68.2 KN
    Shear per bolt V = 150/6 = 25 KN
    Applied tensile load on bolt = 97.6 + 32.65 = 130.25 KN
    Design tension capacity = 175.168 KN
    (V/Vsdf)2 + ( Te /Tndf)2 = (25.0 / 68.2)2 + (130.25 /175.168)2 = 0.687 < 1.0
    Hence Safe!
