Fig. 26.8 Essential detailing requirements for flexible end-plate connections<br />

is usually used for beams up to 457 ¥ 191 UBs. For UBs of 533 ¥ 210 and over a<br />

10 mm thick end-plate combined with 140 mm cross-centres is recommended.<br />

The local shear capacity of the web of the beam must be checked and, because<br />

of their lack of ductility, the welds between the end-plate and beam web must not<br />

be the weakest link.<br />

The essential detailing requirements for this connection are shown in Fig. 26.8
