The document describes beam to column and beam to beam connections and provides calculations to determine the required number of bolts based on shear strength.

Beam to column connections with the column web connecting to different beam section types are described. Beam to beam connections with beams of different sections and an additional angle section are also covered.

Factors like bolt diameter, grade, end and pitch distances, shear and bearing strengths are considered when calculating the shear strength of bolts in single and double shear configurations.
