Construction {AISC) and Steo Institute of Australia (SIA). The farmer AISC published a design manual ging (ulcance on the design of structural connections in steel (Rel 2), ASI updating Reference 2 by way of the Connection Series including design guides deating ‘ath connection parts and inivgual connection types. The overall series of Comectons publications wil be known ae the Connections Sores. The former AISC also publishes = manual containing standardised detailing for simple connections, accompanied by loa lables (Ret. 2), Wherever possible each design guide for individual connection types contains standardised detaling and. design capacty lates for the connection type covered Uy that design guide ‘oriv using the dosign models in that design guide The Connection Series is @spacialst series devoted fo the design of connections in structral steel in accordance with curent Austalan Stancaré AS 4100 (Rel. 4), rolecng the current Salo of tnowledge of connection behaviour from fat resuta. In some instances, the Test bvidence Is sparse and in ater instances the evigence is contractor or couded. Each design guide in the Connection Seres has been witten by weighing tha evidence to provide Fecommended design procedures based In part on the Gesign praceduree used in equivalent ‘manuals andor published papers “Tis Guide is intended to provide design model forthe web side pate (ISP) connection vihich gves a realise estate of connection design capacly and considerate effort has been ‘expended in researching and developing a simple, yet saisfactor design model which can be Justis on the basis of the avaiable research and curent design pracioe Ito. be ‘emphasised that for ths connection, the design model prasented is not tne ony possite model—merely the most represenialive of the behaviour of an individual connection In te pinion ofthe ASI tis therefore nat intended to suggest that other modele may not result In adequate connection capacity and further reterence is made tothe Disclaimer on page Wo this publication 36 to the required Investigeion and verification by a competent professional person of persons in regards to the accurecy, suitability and applicability of {he materials provided inthis Connections ‘Tre connection dal with in ths Guide the wab side plate connection, also Known a ‘web plate connection single plate connection The wab sie plate connection is used as a simple connection in terms of AS 4100 for steal beam to ste!

Detailing considerations 1 Web pate component may be either cu from plat (Grade 280} or be a standard flat bar (Grade 300}, The component Is usually cropped or onycut to length andthe holes are ‘sual punched. Limitations in AS 4100 Section 14 (Ret. *) apply to these operations. ‘Skow ang raking beams can be accommodated Bolt holes aro 2 mm larger than the nominal batt dlamoter Ths diameter of hole inthe supported momber web and the web sie plate wil aceammodate variations in supoortes ‘member cepth ue to standard roling tolerances and provide erection tolerances ater the “upported member fe cut to longth, Siotied or overaze Roles are nol Used because ‘AS 210 requires the use of ener boing category 88/7F or 8.8/7 for such hole yes In connections to column webs, a check must be made on the feath of bel to be used to ‘naure sufient Gearance is avalabie between the web side pate andthe inside of the lum lange, to permit the bolts fo be installed. The beam flange may also need to be oped (romaved) to alow the connsetion tobe aectod (Figure). oo FIGURE 4 COPING BEAM FLANGE(S) FOR COLUMN WEB CONNECTION ‘The filet weld. should not be continued across the top and bottom of the plate. Undercuting ofthe supporting member web orange during fabrication isto be avoided i tho weld i te comply wit AS 1554-1 (Rat 1). “The beam bottom flange may also need to be romaved to allow the beam to be installed by lowering t down tom above. This flange tomoval may often be caied ut when the onpecton ie to the web of an Leecton cokime, But may also be adopted with fonnectons to column flanges or supporting beams (Figure 5) since ‘springing’ the columns apart to allow instalation often not possible. Erection clearances must ba especially considered because of the necessiy to angle beams into place during erection.
