is a popular beam-to-beam and beam-to-column connection
that has been in used since the mid-1950s.
Four-bolt unstiffened

From Segui & AISC1989
End End- -plate Shear Connections plate Shear Connections
Example 7-10 Design the end-plate shear connection for a
W450x76 beam framing into the flange of a W200x56.2
column. All structural steel is A36. The end reaction is 18 ton.
Use 19-mm-diameter A325N bolts. Use 10-mm-thick plate and assume that the
welding is adequate.
Solution:
Capacity of 19-mm A325N in single shear = (/4)(1.9)
2
(1.48) = 4.20 ton/bolt
Bearing capacity of 19-mm A325N = 1.2(4.0)(1.9)(1.0) = 9.12 ton/bolt
Use edge distance = 3 cm, 3/1.9 = 1.58d > 1.5d OK
Use bolt spacing = 6 cm, 6/1.9 = 3.16d > 3d OK
Therefore, shear controls, and the required number of bolts is
n = 18/4.2 = 4.28 bolts (use 6 bolts)
The required plate length (vertically) is
