Beam To Column Connection Example

This document contains calculations for the design of a steel connection with a partial depth end plate. It summarizes the connection details, supported beam details, end plate details, bolt details, and provides results of checks for recommended detailing practices, supported beam welds and shear, bolt group capacity, end plate shear capacity, and other limits. The checks show the design forces are less than the design resistances, with utilizations ranging from 0.076 to 0.328, indicating the connection design is adequate.
