Loads
Vu= 27.86 kN Mu = 163.13 kN-m

Compute 60% of the flexural strength of the beam

Mp = 125.08 kN-m < Mu = 163.13 kN-m

design for Mu = 163.13 kN-m

Try bolt pitch p fo = 50 mm

p fi = 50 mm

Gage distance, g = 100 mm

Req'd bolt diameter :

h0 = 345.45 mm
h1 = 232.35 mm
d reqd = 19.66 mm

use d = 20 mm

Minimum bolt hole edge distane using AISC Table J3.4M
Le = 26 mm

Minimum plate width

w= 152.00 mm < bf = 203.00 mm
use w = 203.00 mm
Maximum effective end-plate width = 250.00 mm

Compute required plate thickness

s= 79.06 mm > p fi = 50 mm
use s = 50 mm

use A36 for Base Plate Fy = 248 MPa Fu = 400 MPa

Yp = 2349.1052
tp = 20.71 mm try 25 mm thick end plate

Beam Flange force

F fu = 564.66 kN
F fu /2 = 282.33 kN

Shear yield strength of the plate

Rnv = 837.00 kN > 282.33 kN OK!

Shear rupture strength of the end plate

2
An = 5100 mm
Rnv = 918.00 kN > 282.33 kN OK!

Check bolt shear. The compression side bolts must be capable of resisting the enitre vertical shear

Rnv = 87.65 kN/bolt n= 4

Rvu = 350.6 kN > Vu= 62.89 kN OK!

Check bearing at the compression side bolts.

dh = 21.5 mm
For the outer bolts
Lc = 91.6 mm Upper limit
Rnb= 824.4 kN > Rnb = 360 kN

since the inner bolts are not near on edge or adjacent bolts, the outer bolts control.
R nb = 1440 kN > Vu= 62.89 kN OK!

Plate length
L= 454 mm say 460 mm

Beam Flange to plate weld design

AISC Design Guide recommends that the minimum design flange force should bw 60% of the flange yield
strength.

F min = 395.70 kN < F fu = 564.66 kN

use P u = 564.66 kN Lw = 398.51 mm
126.95 kips 15.69 in

Rn = 1.392DL w (1.5) where 1.5 is a factor that accounts for the direction of the load on
the weld.
D= 3.88 sixteenths of an inch. use 1/4 in. fillet weld at each flange.

Beam web to plate weld design

To develop the the yields stress in the web near the tension bolts :

1.392D x 2 = 0.6F ytw

For two welds, one on each side of the web, the required weld size is
D= 2.29 sixteenths of an inch. use 3/16 in. fillet weld at side of the web.

Check if stiffeners are required.

Required flange thickness for column flange bending strength is :

For Column - W310X79
bf = 254.00 mm
tf = 14.60 mm

t fc = 17.59 mm > tf = 14.6 mm

Remarks : NOT OK!, provide stiffeners!
