Selecting Sections:
Find the best section that satisfies all the applicable general limit states:
Search methods include: Use of sorted section property tables, the hunt &
peck method, and the brute force method.
Cover Plates
1. Select the plate width, N, based on the limits of available space, web
local yielding, and web crippling.
2. Select the plate length, B, based on the limit state of bearing strength
of concrete. If N2 can be determined, then B can be determined by:
Note that the values for f and W vary with limit state so the values or req'd
strength (Req'd Rn = (Ru/f or RaW) and Req'd Pp = (Ru/f or RaW)) will vary
with f and W.
Final dimensions should be chosen that are easy to measure in whatever unit
system the design is being created in.
