Moment connection with Haunch to design guide-4 and provisions of steel

construction manual 14th edition.

Connection design loads (LRFD):

Axial = 107 kn (tension)

Shear = 1650 kn

Moment = 4466 kn.m

Over all depth (with haunch) = 1000 + 650 = 1650 mm

Haunch length = 1625 mm slope = 1:2.5 1625

Θ = tan -1
(2.5) = 68.2° 650 θ

Effective haunch depth = 1650 – 36 /2 – (36 / sin θ) / 2 = 1612 mm

Lever arm for axial load = 1612 – (500 – 18) = 1130 mm (about CL of haunch)

Case -1: axial + moment: M = 4466 + 107 x 1.13 = 4587 kn.m

Case -2: Moment only: M = 4466 ►M max = 4587 kn.m

Ft (tension flange) = Max (4587 / 1.612; 4466 / 1.612) = 2846 kn

Fc (compression flange) = Max (4587 / 1.612 – 107; 4466 / 1.612) = 2771 kn

1 Fc '

Fc FN

FC' = 2771 / sin θ = 2895 kn

FN = 2771 / 2.5 = 1109 Kn

Bolt design:

db req. = √ (2 x M max) / (π x Ф x Ft x (h0 + h1))

Ф = 0.75

Ft = 780 Mpa

h0 = 1612 + 36 / 2 + 90 = 1720 mm

h1 = h0 – 90 – 125 = 1505 mm

db req = √ [2 x 4587 x 106 / (π x 0.75 x 780 x (1720 + 1505))] = 39.34 < 42mm O.K

Consider bottom 6 bolts in shear

Shear / Bolt = 1650 / 6 = 275 kn

M42 shear capacity = 0.75 x π x 422 / 4 x 457 x 10-3 = 474 kn > 275 O.K

Use M42 grade A490 M (N) Bolts, pre-tensioned bearing type.

Weld design:

Max Ft = 2846 kn

Flange weld length = 300 + 300 – 19 = 581 mm

Load on weld = 2846 / 581 = 4.9 kn/mm

W req. = 4.9 x 103 / (0.707 x 217.19 x 1.5) = 21.27 < 24mm O.K

Whereas 217.19 = 0.75 x 0.6 x 70 x 6.895

1.5 for transversely loaded fillet weld (see eq. J2-5)

Use 24mm (F.W) for flange to end plate weld.

For haunch flange to end plate use full penetration weld, provide cope hole.

Web to end plate weld: In tension bolts zone

tw = 19 mm

W req. = 19 x 0.9 x 345 / (2 x 0.707 x 217.19 x 1.5) = 12.81 < 14 mm O.K

In shear zone: Shear = 1650 kn

Depth of web in shear = (1650 – 36 – 36 – 36 / sin θ) / 2 = 769 mm

W req. = 1650 x 103 / (0.707 x 217.19 x 2 x 769) = 6.99 < 14mm O.K

Use 14mm (F.W) for beam's lower flange.

End plate design:

Effective width = 300 + 25 = 325 < 350mm (actual width)
