Connection Design for Column above Beam, Based on AISC Manual & AISC 360-05

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

BEAM SIZE W16X40

COLUMN SIZE c = 6 in
d = 6 in

BASE PLATE THICKNESS t= 3/4 in

COLUMN TO PLATE WELD w = 1/4 in
BOLT SIZE f = 3/4 in
BOLT MATERIAL (A307, A325, A490) ASTM = A325

COLUMN BASE SERVICE LOADS

Axial P = 10 kips
Shear V = 25 kips Plate Size : 7 in x 10.5 in x 0.75 in
Moment M = 10 ft-kips
THE CONNECTION DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.

ANALYSIS
CHECK WELD OF COLUMN TO BASE PLATE (AISC 360-05 J2.4 )
fx = V / Aw = 5.7 ksi
fy = P / Aw + M / Sw = 20.1 ksi
fv = (fx2 + fy2)0.5 = 20.9 ksi < Fv = 0.6 FEXX / W = 21.0 ksi [Satisfactory]
Where Aw = 4.4 in 2

Sw = 6.7 in3

CHECK SHEAR BOLTS CAPACITY
