Connection Moment

The document provides detailed calculations and specifications for a beam to column moment connection, including dimensions, material properties, and load capacities. It outlines the requirements for bolts, end plates, welds, and stiffeners necessary to ensure structural integrity under specified loads. Safety checks confirm that the design meets required standards for shear, tension, and moment capacities.
