Flust-Extended End Plate Connection

This document provides design notes and assumptions for a flush-extended end plate connection for a building project at King Saud University. It includes input parameters for the connection design, such as member sizes, material properties, bolt arrangement and sizes. The document then outlines the calculation procedure, which involves checking the connection capacity based on several limit states, including end plate yielding, bolt rupture with and without prying, shear strength of bolts, and welding strength. The calculated capacities are then compared to the required strength to check the adequacy of the connection design.

DESIGN NOTES AND ASSUMPTIONS :


-All Dimensions in mm ,Forces in ton and stresses t/cm2.
-This procedure is deigned for bearing type connections only.
-The primary assumption in this approach is that the end plate must substantially yield to produce prying forces
in the bolts.Conversely,if the plate is strong enough,no prying action occurs and the bolts are loaded in direct tension
This simplified assumption allows the designer to directly optimize either the bolt diameter or end-plate thickness
as desired.
-The threshold when prying action begins to take place in the bolts at 90% of the full strength of the plate or 0.9Mpl
If the applied load is less than this value, the end plate behaves as a thick plate and prying action can be neglected
in the bolts.Once the applied moment crosses the threshold of 0.9Mpl,the plate can be approximated as a thin plate
and maximum prying is incorporated in the bolt analysis.
-Intermediate plate behaviour is a transition from Thick to Thin behaviour and considered as a thin behaviour
during the analysis.
-The factored axial load will be converted into an equivalent moment that will be added to the factored
connection moment for axial tension.
-The width of end plate ,Which is effective in resisting the applied beam moment shall not be taken greater than
than the beam flange width plus 1 inch in the calculations.
-The beam flange to end plate weld can be designed for the required moment strength but not less than 60% of the
specified minimum yield strength of the connected beam flange.
-When the full design strength is not required, the beam web to end plate welds should be designed to develop
60% of the minimum specified yield strength of the beam web.
-Stitch bolts are sometimes used between the tension and compression flange end plate bolts especially in deep
connections. The purpose of these bolts is to reduce plate separation caused by welding distortions.Because stitch
bolts are located near center of gravity of the member,Contribution to connection strength is small and is neglected
-The purpose is to design connections Type(FR) or Type"1" which is fully restrained moment connections
-Type(1) or "FR" connections are traditionally required to carry and end moment greater than or equal to 90%
of the full fixity end moment of the beam and not rotate more than 10% of the simple span rotation.
-This procedure is based on Yield line technique to determine end plate thickness and to predict the tension forces
Considering the prying actions.
-Yield line are the continous formation of the plastic hinges along a straight or curved lines.
-Thick plate behaviour is taken place when plastic hinges is not formed in the split-tee flange and the prying force
value is equal to "zero".
-Thin plate behaviour is taken place when plastic hinges is formed in the split-tee flange and the prying force
value is not equal to "zero".
-All loads and internal forces comply with LRFD method (internal forces in ASD Could be muliplied by 1.5).
-Flush End plate connections are typically used for light loads or near moment inflection point.
-All Shear Forces assumed to be resisted by compression bolts
-Bolts in tension may be tightened to 70% of the bolt tensile strength or could be snug tightened (for Bolts A325 Only)
-This spreadsheet is designed to check the connection strength for the following limit states :
-Connection Strength Based on End plate Yielding.
-Connection Strength Based on bolt rupture without prying action.
-Connection Strength Based on bolt fracture w/prying action.
-Effect of axial forces will be neglected incase the axial force is compression.
