STRUCTURAL STEEL YIELD STRESS Fy = 50 ksi
THE FACTOR AXIAL LOAD ON THE COLUMN Pu = 27 kips
BEAM LENGTH BETWEEN COL. CENTERS L= 33 ft
AVERAGE STORY HEIGHT OF ABOVE & BELOW h= 9 ft
THE DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.
(Continuity column stiffeners 0.75 x 4
with 1/4" fillet weld to web & CP to flanges.
A doubler plate is required with thickness of 1-5/8 in. )

CHECK CONTINUITY PLATE REQUIREMENT (AISC 358-05 Sec. 2.4.4)
tcf = MIN{ bbf / 6 , 0.4[1.8bbf tbf (FybRyb) / (FybRyb)] 0.5 }= 1.17 in > actual tcf

[Satisfactory]
The required weld length between A36 continuity plates and column web (AISC 360-05 Sec.J2.2b)
Lw = 0.6tstLnstFy / [(2) f Fw (0.707 w)] = (0.75 x 3.3) x 36 / [(2) 0.75 (0.6x70)(0.707x1/4)] = 3.44 in

(Use complete joint penetration groove welds between continuity plates & column flanges.)

CHECK PANEL ZONE THICKNESS REQUIREMENT (AISC 341-05 Sec. 10.2d)
tReqD = MAX (t1, t2) = 2.02 in
t1 = Cy Mpr (h - db ) / [0.9 (0.6) Fyc Ryc dc (db - tfb) h] = 2.02 in
Where Cy = Sb / (Cpr Zb) = 0.78
Cpr = 1.15 (AISC 341-05 Sec. 9.6 & AISC 358-05 Sec. 2.4.3)
Ry = 1.1 (AISC 341-05 Tab. I-6-1)
Sb = 2Ib / db = 70 in2
Ib = Ix = 484 in4
Mpr = Nb CprRyFyb Zb = 826 ft-kips
Nb = 2 , (if double side connection of beams, input 2)
t2 = (dz + wz ) / 90 = (db -2tst + dc - 2k) / 90 = 0.21 in
Since twc = 0.40 in < tReqD , a doubler plate is
required with thickness of 1-5/8 in.
