olts, and the other leg is connected to the column flange by one row of bolts. The geometric<br />

Parameters describing the configuration of the bolted/bolted double web angle connection are shown in<br />

Figure 3-17. The definition of the geometric parameters used in this figure and the corresponding<br />

geometric values of each parameter are tabulated in Table 3-5.<br />

3.3.4 Welded/Bolted Double Web Angle Connection<br />

A W24x104 hot-rolled beam with length of 70 in. (180 cm) was connected to a W14x159 column with<br />

length of 80 in (200 cm). Two 15 in. (380 mm) L5x5x¾ hot-rolled angles were used to connect the beam<br />

to the column. As shown, one leg of angle is welded to the beam web, and the other leg is bolted to the<br />
