76 FLANGES AND WEBS WITH CONCENTRATED FORCES [Sect. K1.R⎛ ⎞⎛ ⎞23bcf tcf 1.2Puv= 0.60Fd y ctw1+ 1.9 −⎜ ddt ⎟⎜b c wP ⎟⎝ y ⎠⎝⎠(K1-12)In Equations K1-9 through K1-12, the following definitions apply:t w = column web thickness, in. (mm)b cf = width of column flange, in. (mm)t cf = thickness of the column flange, in. (mm)d b = beam depth, in. (mm)d c = column depth, in. (mm)F y = yield strength of the column web, ksi (MPa)P y = F y A, axial yield strength of the column, kips (N)A = column cross-sectional area, in. 2 (mm 2 )When doubler plates are required, they shall meet the criteria of Section F2 andshall be welded to develop the proportion of the total shear force which is to becarried.Alternatively, when diagonal stiffeners are required, the weld connecting diagonalstiffeners to the web shall be sized to transmit the stiffener force caused by unbalancedmoments to the web. Also, see Section K1.9.8. Unframed Ends of Beams and GirdersAt unframed ends of beams and girders not otherwise restrained against rotationabout their longitudinal axes, a pair of transverse stiffeners, extending the full depthof the web, shall be provided. Also, see Section K1.9.9. Additional Stiffener Requirements for Concentrated ForcesTransverse and diagonal stiffeners shall also comply with the following criteria:(1) The width of each stiffener plus one-half the thickness of the column web shallnot be less than one-third of the width of the flange or moment connection platedelivering the concentrated force.(2) The thickness of a stiffener shall not be less than one-half the thickness of theflange or moment connection plate delivering the concentrated load, and notless than its width times179 . Fy / E.Full depth transverse stiffeners for compressive forces applied to a beam or plategirder flange shall be designed as axially compressed members (columns) in accordancewith the requirements of Section E2, with an effective length of 0.75h, a crosssection composed of two stiffeners and a strip of the web having a width of 25t w atinterior stiffeners and 12t w at the ends of members.The weld connecting bearing stiffeners to the web shall be sized to transmit theexcess web shear force to the stiffener. For fitted bearing stiffeners, see Section J8.10. Additional Doubler Plate Requirements for Concentrated ForcesDoubler plates required by Sections K1.3 through K1.6 shall also comply with thefollowing criteria:<strong>LRFD</strong> Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, December 27, 1999AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION
