2 Axial capacity of the For compression For tension<br />

flange cover plates The axial compressive The effective axial<br />

capacity of the cover tensile capacity of the<br />

plate (pyAfp) must be<br />

greater than the<br />

cover plate (pyAfp) must<br />

be greater than the<br />

maximum applied maximum applied tensile<br />

compressive force (F1max) force (F2max)<br />

3 Shear capacity of bolt The shear capacity of the bolt group (reduction<br />

group connecting the<br />

flange cover plate to<br />

factor ¥ SPs of the bolt shear capacities) must be<br />

greater than the maximum applied compressive<br />

column flange force (F1max)<br />

4 Bearing capacity of The bearing capacity of the flange cover<br />

flange cover plate<br />

connected to column<br />

flange<br />

plates (SPbs) must be greater than the maximum<br />

applied compressive force (F1,max)<br />

5 Shear capacity of bolt The shear capacity of the connecting bolt group<br />

group connecting web<br />

cover plate to column<br />

(SPs) must be greater than half the axial<br />

compressive load (due to factored loads) in the web<br />

web<br />

FcAw of the smaller column ( F3<br />

)<br />

6 Axial capacity of web<br />

cover plate<br />

The axial capacity of the web cover plate (py Awp)<br />

must be greater than half the axial load in the web<br />

of the smaller column (F3)<br />

7 Bearing capacity of web<br />

cover plate connected<br />

The bearing capacity of the web cover plate (SPbs)<br />

must be greater than half the axial compressive<br />

to column web load in the web of the smaller column (F3)<br />

Flush end-plate connections<br />

Extended end-plate connections<br />

Welded connections<br />

Each of these connection types is shown in Fig. 26.1. Choice of connection type is<br />

usually based on simplicity, duplication and ease of fabrication, all for economic<br />

reasons. Site welded joints are used extensively in the USA and Japan for the con-
