The document describes the design and checks performed on a clip angle connection between an ISA100X100X10 angle and a beam with web depth of 300mm and flange width of 175mm. Various design checks like shear, tension, bearing, bending, block shear, prying were performed on the connection.

Design checks that were performed on the clip angle connection include checks for shear capacity, tension capacity, combined shear and tension, block shear, prying, bearing and bending in the clip angle.

The forces acting on the supported member included an axial force Fx of 6kN, a shear force Fy of 78kN and no axial force Fz.
