Connection Design

This document summarizes the configuration, members, demands, geometric considerations, and design checks for a beam-column connection. The connection uses a W18x97 beam, W16x45 opposite beam, and W12x65 column. Transverse stiffeners and doubler plates are included. Design checks are performed for panel web shear, flange bending, web yielding, stiffener axial capacity, and flange weld capacity. All capacity/demand ratios are below 1, indicating adequate strength.
