NCCI: Shear resistance of a fin plate connection


This NCCI provides rules for the determination of shear resistance of a "Simple Joint" using a fin plate connection for Beam/Column and Beam/Beam connections. The rules apply to a bolted connection loaded in shear and using non-preloaded bolts (i.e. Category A: Bearing type bolted connection). This NCCI covers the rules for the fin plate, the supported beam and the supporting column or beam. The rules may be used to evaluate the overall shear resistance of the connection, for all the possible modes of failure, based on the rules in EN 1993-1-8 for determining the resistances of individual components of the connection.

Design model

Fin plate connections may be considered as simple joints according to EN1993-1-1 5.1.2 (1) and (2) and EN1993-1-8 5.1.1 (1), (2) and (3). For further information about simple connections see SN020. Thus the effects of joint behaviour need not be taken into account in the analysis of the frame. However, for the design of the connection itself, the effective line of transfer of vertical shear, i.e. where zero moment is assumed to exist, depends on the flexibility of the supporting element. In practice, most supports are neither fully rigid nor entirely flexible. Therefore it is safe to design both the bolts and the welds for shear force and moment. Hence, two design models are used, one (to design the bolt group) where the line of transfer is at the face of the supporting element and one (to design the weld) where the line of transfer is at the centreline of the bolt group. The two models are shown in Figure 1.1.

The shear resistance and mode of failure of the connection is the value and mode that has the lowest resistance of all the possible modes of failure. For rules for each of the modes of failure, refer to Table 1.1 given below.
